Final Vacation Post

Friday in Chicago was a blast! We walked and walked forever, then headed towards Navy Pier to spend a couple of hours enjoying the water. It was great walking down by the water and enjoying the cute stores. The amount of schools there was crazy...you can tell it's the end of the school year and kids are going on lots of fields trips. We had lunch at Bubba Gumps Shrimp Company and it was awesome. Neither of us had ever been there before so it was fun to get to experience that together. On the way to get the car, we ordered an Orginial Gino's Pizza, drove around for a hour or so waiting on the pizza, then we headed to the lake. Jeff passed out before we were out of Chicago I think and he slept all the way to the lake! Poor little guy was tired from everything that we did.

It felt great to get to the lake and relax, and not to have to worry about doing anything. Jeff spent his every waking moment in the sandbox. He loves digging and dumping the sand into the water. Saturday Jeff took an early and long nap, I did my workout video, took a nice walk with mom, the guys went fishing...it was busy to say the least. Then we had some of mom's family up for dinner and it was so great to sit around and get to spend some time with them. Jeff loves having the boys around so it's fun for all!

Sunday of course was Mother's Day... we were up early and went to church, then went to breakfast. We had decided to change our reservations for the water park visit because we didn't want to rush off and be in a hurry all day. I'm so glad we changed them! Jeff took another early nap, Mom & I did our workout video and the guys fished. It was nice to spend sometime with mom by myself. I don't get to do that, to often. Steph & I decided to do a cookout for Mom at their house that evening; it was so much fun! We all crammed around their table and had a great time, simple and easy...I'm so glad we ended up doing that!!!

Monday we got to hang out and relax a little bit, then we headed off to have lunch with Nick's parents. It was nice to see them, especially since I hadn't seen them since Easter. Lunch wasn't to long because we wanted to get going, but we will see them this weekend, so it was no big deal. We took off and headed to Kalahari... luckily we were able to check in right away and get to our room and change into our suits. We headed straight down and enjoyed a few hours in the park. Jeff didn't like getting splashed in the face, but he enjoyed playing in the water. He spent lots of time just going up and down the slides and running around screaming...he had a great time! Yesterday we just spent some more time at the waterpark and then came home at a decent time. It felt good to get home and get things unpacked and ready for the short work week ahead!
