Yeah, another visitor!! We were in amazement when we found out that we would have not only 1 but 2 visitors in the month of September. Yeah for us!! This past weekend Derek's friend Kim came to visit. Kim flew in Friday, & with no time a wastin' the guys headed to the city. You don't realize how much walking you do in the city, they walked & walked & with no whinney kids (not that our kids ever whine) they were able to see & do alot...the bean, Millenium park, the Magnificent Mile,ride up to the top of the John Hancock Tower (sorry about the Sears Tower Jennifer, definetly next time),eat fabulous pizza & much more.
Unfortunatley for Kim we decided to purchase a basketball standard on saturday. Putting this together took a few hours & alot of "re-doing"!! (Thanks Derek & Kim the kids & I love shooting hoops.) Luckily they finished the basketball standard just in time for their tee time at Black Hawk Golf Course. What a manly day, building things & golf!!
The next day we decided to leave early & drive up to Wisconsin. We discovered a new place to see Lake Michigan, it was a beautiful spot.(Don't worry Kim I won't tell them about you getting drenched by the huge wave!!) Then back to Illinois, to hang out at Illinois Beach State Park. We love the beach & the kids always have a blast in the water. Kim & Derek were totally interested by the hang gliding surfers. Some of them were amazing, maybe next year we will give that a try!! And just like that the weekend was over & it was back to real life. Thanks for coming Kim & hanging out with us here in Illinois. Come back soon & bring Angie next time!!

Once again...so sad that it's not me! Is it already jacket weather in Chicago??
Chicago is so much fun, maybe we'll come visit you too! Don't you just love it there though? By the way, Grayson can come scrub my toilets any time. That is too funny!
