Charado!!

Our first Sunday at the Village! We are so lucky to have gotten such good roommates! After a long fun day of Desperate Housewives we had a good old fashion Sunday Dinner!. You can't have one of those meals without a Sunday nap. Around 11:00 we decided to play a good old fashion game of Charado!! Of course nothing in life is easy and our play dough was no good anymore.. so we decided to make our own play dough. By the 3rd batch we finally had the recipe for success!! :) It was a long very fun game, but so worth the big "W" Go Blue Team!.

The Windy City!!.

We went to Chicago for our annual Orgill hardware convention (which for us means free bee's and vacation) It was such an awesome trip. We arrived there Wednesday night around 11:30pm and went straight to the hotel. We must have arrived at a good time because the front desk upgraded us to an executive suite!!! Of course when Cortney and I found out they had robes in the room we couldn't resist taking camera picks and forwarding them to the fam! Thursday we spent part of the day at the convention and then headed to the Chicago River to catch boat ride. It was really cool and we learned TONS about Chicago. When it started getting dark the spiders started coming out (if you didn't know Chicago has spiders everywhere at night time) and we were ready to get off the boat that was being taken over!! We headed over to Gibson's for dinner. By the time we got back to the hotel, dad crashed and Cort and I stayed up for a good old show (Baby Mama!) so funny!!. Friday we hit up Navy Pier. If you ever go to Chicago you HAVE to go. It it just the coolest place ever! We walked everywhere in Chicago to save on Taxi money, but this night we decided to get a bike taxi! That was an experience!! After a lot of laughing and peddling we were back at the hotel. Of course Cort and I stayed up laughing all night again while dad crashed out early!. Saturday they show was over and we packed up all our free-bee's. We headed to our favorite restaurant(Charlie Burke's Primehouse!) If you ever go, don't forget to order fish on a rock. (lol) By the time we were done with dinner we had to go to the famous Sears Tower!! After our journey to the top of the 2nd highest tower in the world we all crashed pretty early that night!! It was a GREAT trip!

Three Lakes!.

We went to Three Lakes this weekend. It was so fun. We drove down Thursday.. The first night there we found a HUGE spider and it totally freaked us out!! So instead of sleeping in the "big room" we carried all the mattresses in the house up onto the roof!. The next day we went into town and got some food for the weekend (pbj's, tinfoil dinners, cereal.) Then we went back and played at the Lake all day!. That night up on the roof it started to rain, but before we could all get up and get all out stuff it stopped.. It did that about 3 times before it was 6am and we all decided to just get out of bed and get the day started!. We had another fabulous day at Three Lakes.. blowing stuff up, playing games, swimming, making "new" rope swings, and of course going off the zip line (which I'm proud to say, I finally did for the first time in my Three Lakes history.) Sunday after church we packed up, cleaned up, and headed home. It was a great trip.. Thank you again Annie, Steven, and Chris!. We can't wait to go again!.
