We spent a beautiful early fall day visiting the Springfield Zoo and having a picnic lunch with Mom and Bob. WE had so much fun.
The very last weekend of September Dale, Connor and I spent the weekend with Dad, Robyn, Chad, AJ and Erica in Chicago. We celebrated Connor's birhtday on Friday night with a cake from Aunt Erica and frozen pizza's. We had to improvise a bit with the candle:)
After having a yummy breakfast on Saturday morning, Connor got to go to his first MLB game. We really enjoyed Wrigley Field even though our beloved Cardinal's didn't play so well. We decided to leave after the 7th inning stretch and head to Willis Tower, aka Sears Tower. We had to wait in line a bit, but it was well worth it. I couldn't believe that Connor had no fears about being "so high on the mountain". He walked out on the sky deck with no problems, I'm not so sure he really understood that we were really seeing the ground so far below. It was very awesome to be able to see all around you, that high up. Dale and I left on Saturday after the Sears Tower to head home to relieve Mom and Bob from the girls. Dale watched the girls all day on Sunday so I could study for my MRI boards, which I thankfully passed!! Connor got to round out his fun filled weekend with a trip to the Curtis Apple Orchard. It sure took us a few days to recover from this weekend, but it was well worth it!
