Last Friday we took off right after Sam was done working and headed to Chicago to visit with our good friends the Booths. We lived right across the hall from them our 1st year at Cornell and we became like family-not going a day without seeing them, sharing many meals, borrowing many things, watching tons of late night after the kids (both of us just had one at the time) went to bed. We had a lot of fun with them right across the hall and we're glad we live close enough now to drive for a weekend visit.

Our drive was smooth until the last hour when Maizie got into some hand sanitizer-swallowed a little bit and threw up all over herself & me. (she showed up at the Booths naked) and T deciding he had to use the bathroom in a scary Chicago hood and couldn't wait until we got to the Booth's house. ha ha ha. Traveling with kids is a whole different ball game. ha ha.

Saturday morning all the kiddos woke up bright and early. (pretty sure mine woke up theirs, sorry Tiff). Robert grabbed his guitar and the kids danced & danced the morning away. Oh man they had so much fun dancing. T was too cool to dance at first but as soon as he heard the awesome kid songs Robert was making up he threw all caution to the wind and not only danced but after each song he's BEG for "more more more!!"

Saturday (after breakfast & all the dancing) we headed down the the aquarium.







Sunday before we headed home, we decided to take the kids down to the Chicago childrens museum at Navy Pier. It was super cute and despite it being way crowded, we had a great time and the kids loved it. (way last minute, we thought we'd just head home in the morning since it was snowing pretty hard but decided to take advantage of one more day while we were there. Glad we did!)

We had such a fun weekend, but it made us just miss the Booths all over again. Thanks for the great trip Rob & Tiff. If anyone wants to be shown a good time, go visit them. They are the best hosts!
