Kohl's Children's Museum

For years Kristen has been trying to get us to this museum when we come into town. This year we finally made it! It was one of the coolest children's museums ever. The kids loved all the hands on exhibits. They had a ball with the face paint as noted in the pictures.

American Girl Place

Since we spent Addie's birthday in Kyler's hospital room we decided to take her to the American Girl Store for breakfast. It was so cute! They even gave Stella a doll to sit with. The food was really yummy and they made a special plate for Addie. She loved shopping in the store after breakfast. Kyler loved it too! They had a gameboy for boys to borrow so they have something to do while the girls are shopping. It was so fun we would definitely go again!

Hanging with Family and Friends

In Chicago we always do a lot of visiting. We always enjoy spending time with everyone. It's so hard being so far away.

On the Farm

When we went to Illinois in July we went to visit the Miller's on their corn farm. We had so much fun. The kids loved going on rides in the ranger. We even got to catch lightning bugs. That is one of my favorite childhood memories and I was glad to share it with my kids. The kids can't wait to go back next summer!

4th of July 2011

For the 4th of July we went to our neighborhood parade. It is such a blast the kids love to see people they know walking in the parade and getting so many treats. We went with the Orgills and had such a fun time.
