Chicago

From Michigan, we drove back to Chicago. We wandered around downtown and had Chicago style pizza at Giordano's. The next day, we came downtown again, this time to see Wicked. Auntie Em and Uncle Bry stayed with the little ones, and the rest of us gathered umbrellas (thanks, Bry!) and took the train downtown. After the show, we had popcorn. And we went to see The Bean, which is actually called Cloud Gate, though I've only heard it referred to as The Bean. On Monday, there was more shopping and wandering around downtown before I headed home. A good time was had by all!

At the Beach I

It was dubbed Girls' Weekend, but this is the only picture I have of all the girls together.Friday night at Lake Michigan, we were joined by a few guys we know, and it made for a fun evening.

Girls' Weekend - Michigan

Our very own Girls' Weekend began in Holland, Michigan where the Texas Contingent met the Midwest Contingent at the New Holland Brewery. We even had a couple of guys join us for a while, but I think, in the end, they did not mind leaving the increased estrogen zone!

Carolyn is hard at work perfecting her new locomotion. She loves to practice, and has little interest in anything that does not involve walking.
