Our little SIBS weekend...

up in Chicago was a BLAST!

Cory, Calie, and I all hit the road and met up in Chicago to stay with Aaron for a couple days!

It was a fun weekend of hanging out, laughing, trying new things, dancing in the streets, listening to live music, meeting friends, extreme boat riding, walking our butts off, people watching, and enjoying every single second in between....


Started out the visit with my first REAL sushi!!! It was delish!!! Good thing Aaron and Calie knew what to order...Cory and I might have sat there for two hours pondering the menu!!!


Our feast! My favorite was the Sea Monster...followed by a close (I forgot the name but it's up in the top, right corner. White fish something, maybe?!?!)


At the "Do Division" street fest!


All (dry) and ready for our Extreme Sea Dog boat ride....VERY windy, though!!!!


Ready to board....


Before....


After....


Cory & Cal...notice that they ended the adventure just about as dry as they started it. Aaron and I think the captain OBVIOUSLY favored turning and spinning the boat in whatever direction soaked us!!! Ha!


Part of the view from out on the boat. The sun only made a couple appearances this day, but that didn't put a damper on our fun!!!


Hanging out at Big Star (Aaron's favorite) and attempting to wait out the random rain showers!!!


Back at the street fest!!! Shortly after this pic was taken, we met up with Fortman and finished the night laughing even more and playing a few rounds of darts. Let's just say the laughs were way better than my dart throwing. Apparently, I'm out of practice!!!! 

FANTASTIC seeing you three and here's to making this an annual thing!!! 

(And, Zac...you are so joining us next time!!!! Have fun in Spain!!!)

Weekend Get-A-Way...

for Mommy and Daddy was a fun, fun time!

Two weekends ago, Jason and I hit Chicago to catch a little (BOO!) Cubs action, visit Karrie and Vinnie B, and catch up with my bro, Aaron. MawMaw Cindy flew up and spent 4 days with the three munchkins...they loved every second of it and totally had a blast with her. It was great to see friends and nice to see my bro's place. (Which he happens to be moving out of soon!) It's been a loooong time since Jason and I have had a date night, much less a couple date nights in a row. We definitely enjoyed our time together!!! It was so nice to be able to hold hands with the hubbs whenever I wanted...Love you, Jason!!!


Enjoying the view before heading off on our boat tour of the city and skyline...


Loving our seats for the game...Jason LOVES the Cubs!


The whole gang at enjoying Wrigley....


Jason, Me, and Karrie


Fun times at Wrigleyville...


Karrie and I talking about old memories and laughing like usual....


Just a little glimpse of the AMAZING views we had on the boat tour...Great idea, Uncle Aaron!


The afternoon we got back from Chicago...we hit the ICubs game here in Iowa. The kids wanted to show MawMaw Cindy how awesome Principal Park is!! It was a HOT one, but a fun one!!!


Posing with MawMaw....


Trey Man & MaMaw


Ty & MawMaw (and Baby, of course)


MawMaw and Sweet Tay...

We definitely hated seeing MawMaw Cindy leave, but we know she was ready for a break!! These three definitely kept her busy, busy, and more busy!!! THANKS for the great little visit and thanks so much for letting us road trip to Chicago for the weekend! Love you and Miss you lots, Mom!!! XoXo
