Back from our adventure...

We just got back this past Wednesday from a 3 week vacation. It was wonderful. 4 of those days were spent traveling. We stopped half way to/from Indiana since on the way there we took the boys to Dinosaur World (yes, it is very much a tourist attraction!). For boys who love dinosaurs it was awesome. We stayed at my in-laws, which is better than staying at a hotel. They have a pool, and my mother in-law is one of the best cooks I know. Plus the cousins come over quite often, so Isaac loved having his cousins around to play with most of the time. We filled our time with lots of fun things. We went to Brookfield Zoo, Shedd Aquarium downtown Chicago, White Sox baseball game, met friends at the park, my sister and her kids came out from Iowa, a wedding shower for my soon to be sister in law, out for dinner a few times, cookout at my brother's house, Sunday dinner with all the family at both my in-laws house and my parents house, went to see fireworks on the 4th, got to see 3 of the boys great-grandma's, and days just spent relaxing by the pool.... the list goes on and on. Every time we got in the car Isaac would ask, "Are we going back to grandpa & grandma's house?" He wanted to make sure we weren't going home yet. It was really hard to say good-bye when we had to go. But it has been good to get back into a normal routine again (I guess) :) We will be back there in October for Fall break and also for my brother, Kurt's, wedding. I'm so thankful my husband is a teacher and has vacation time throughout the year where we can go home and see family.

I'll post pictures as soon as I get done editing them. I'm currently working on a couple of photo shoots that I did and once those are done then I'll get to the 3 weeks worth of pictures that I need to edit :) Plus we took our final load of stuff that we needed to bring back to our new home. So I've been trying to get all that put away where it needs to go.

It's good to be back and see our friends here, but there is something about being with family and just enjoying time together that makes it so hard to say good-bye. But thankfully we'll be back there again in a few months
