We had a blast at the lake riding wave runners, paddling kayaks & paddle boards, building sand castles, eating, and relaxing! We also went to explore the Paris ice caves and found a nature center that had a ton of hummingbirds! It was a perfect way to end the summer!<br />

It was beautiful, fun, and had a "candy bar" that my kids really enjoyed during the reception. On our last day in Chicago, we visited the Willis Tower and stood on a clear ledge where we could see the ground below! Yikes! My legs were trembling! Next, we went to the Field Museum which reminded me a lot of the museum from Night at the Museum. It was huge and very fun to look through. We ended the day at Navy Pier which is a like an outdoor mall with carnival rides. By this time, we were exhausted from our week, so we were content to eat pizza and people watch.<br />

The third day started out with us walking through Millenium Park. This park has the famous "Bean", a bunch of statues, flower gardens, and water fountains. We stopped to have breakfast at a place with giant pancakes, like lemon-blueberry and Oreo. Yum! The rest of the afternoon we spent at the Shedd Aquarium. They had massive fish tanks with ocean life from around the world. We went to a dolphin and seal show in their atrium and Brielle was brave enough to touch a sting-ray! After the aquarium, we went to a MLB game at Wrigley Field. It was fun to attend a baseball game in person, but it was freezing cold that night! The wind picked up after we arrived and we had to buy blankets and hoodies to keep us warm during the game. The girls favorite part was the guy selling food in the stands yelling "Cracker-Jacks!" in the most annoying voice. They laughed every time they heard him yell!Rachaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18302569659374677605noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-963670338495129620.post-53271715367733771182014-07-22T16:13:00.000-06:002016-07-07T17:00:20.140-06:00Chicago: Day 2 (Zoo, Michigan Avenue, Hancock Observatory)<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

On Tuesday, we started off the day by visiting the Lincoln Park Zoo. It takes about 45 minutes to get into the city, so we didn't arrive there until late morning. The zoo has free admission, but you have to pay for parking, which is kind of backwards, to me. It wasn't a large zoo, but we got to see plenty of animals. Next, we headed to Michigan Avenue where there are tons of stores down several city blocks. Brielle really wanted to go to the American Girl Doll store, where she purchased a cute swimming outfit for her doll. That store had two floors and a place you can even get your doll's ears pierced! We browsed through other stores after that until we got hungry for dinner. We ate at the Rainforest Cafe since we don't have one at home and the girls loved it! They each bought a stuffed animal from their gift shop to add to their collection. We also visited the Rock N Roll McDonald's. It had 2 floors and a bunch of memorabilia from McDonald's throughout the years. Before we headed back to the hotel, we went to the top of the Hancock Observatory. It looked so cool at night! It is the 4th tallest building in Chicago--over 100 stories! It was a very fun day and pretty exhausting!Rachaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18302569659374677605noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-963670338495129620.post-84743033213798608212014-07-21T15:37:00.000-06:002018-07-07T13:30:31.754-06:00Chicago: Day 1 (Arrival)<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This month was exciting for our family because my younger brother was getting married--in Chicago--and our whole family was going! I was really excited to see a new city and since my brother had lived there awhile, he could show us all the great places to see. We flew out early on a Monday morning and the girls loved flying on an airplane. They did really well for the long flight. Once we reached Chicago, it was about a 30-45 minute drive to where my brother lived and our hotel was located. We got checked in to our hotel (which was having a "Christmas Convention" of all things!) and then relaxed at my brother's apartment. He had a pool in his complex which made the girls happy, too!Rachaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18302569659374677605noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-963670338495129620.post-54166030363898752452014-07-08T18:26:00.000-06:002016-06-16T18:27:16.983-06:00First Piano Recital<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Even though my girls have taken piano for awhile, this was their first official recital. They were pretty nervous about it, but they practiced really hard and did a great job!</div>

Last year started the yearly tradition of going to St George as a family. This year my girls were determined to catch a lizard and keep it as a pet! We would see a lot of lizards crawling around the swimming pool area each day and they thought with Nick's help, they could catch one. (Nick has told the girls of many lizard catching adventures when he was a kid). One day during our trip, they kept seeing lizards on the walls. Nick grabbed a take-out box from our car and helped them trap one in the box (you can see it sticking its head out of the box in one picture). Once they caught it, they named it Quinta (for the hotel we were staying at). They made a trip to the store to buy an official cage for him (don't know how they decided it was a boy) and spent some time making a "natural" environment for him. They fed him ants, which were surprisingly not very plentiful in St. George. He ended up living for almost a month though after we brought him home. It was quite the adventure! We still swam every day, Brielle and I saw The Little Mermaid, we went to movie, but Quinta was definitely the highlight of our trip!Rachaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18302569659374677605noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-963670338495129620.post-42813068133513041272014-06-16T17:16:00.000-06:002016-06-16T17:18:39.618-06:00Spa Day<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Brielle and her friend, Brylee, decided they wanted to have a Spa Day. They used a facial mask recipe from a Fancy Nancy book. It looked easy for them to make, but I didn't consider how banana and honey might <u style="font-style: italic;">not</u> be good if it dripped into their hair! All that matters is that they had fun though, right? And they looked younger, too!Rachaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18302569659374677605noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-963670338495129620.post-81392810150188264752014-05-21T22:12:00.000-06:002016-03-31T22:12:50.248-06:00Fourth Grade Rendezvous <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Nick always seems to be the one available to go on field trips and I am jealous he got to go to the 4th grade rendezvous at Fort Buenaventura this year. It sounded like so much fun! Nick was in charge of loading kids into the canoes where they could row across a pond. They also did a tug-of-war, watched a mountain man load a black-powder rifle, participated in a hatchet throw, shot taffy out of a cannon, and ate fry bread. How cool is that? This was a perfect field trip for a dad to go on though. I can't wait until Brielle gets to go and hopefully Nick can go again.Rachaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18302569659374677605noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-963670338495129620.post-16648138827228960282014-05-15T21:41:00.000-06:002016-03-31T21:41:29.374-06:00Raising Butterflies<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Every year for the last couple years, my mom has given my girls caterpillars to grow and turn into butterflies. We keep them in a net basket on our bar and watch them go through all the stages from caterpillar to butterfly. After they have hatched out of their chrysalis, we feed them oranges and let them get their wings stronger for about a week. On a non-windy day, my girls take them to a big open space and let them go. They took a few friends with them this year to release the butterflies and the butterflies started landing on their hands and shirts! They love this amazing tradition!Rachaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18302569659374677605noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-963670338495129620.post-73811971864473326942014-04-30T17:50:00.000-06:002016-03-31T17:51:33.006-06:00Easter Excitement<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I will never understand why my girls like Peeps for Easter, but they sure popped them right in their mouth! We tried a new technique of coloring eggs this year. For Brielle's eggs, we covered them in shaving cream and dropped food coloring on them. After they had time to dry, we wiped the eggs off and it looked like a pastel swirl of colors. Emma wrapped her eggs in a wet paper towel before dropping food coloring on them and hers turned out with darker, swirled colors. It was fun to try a new way and actually less messy. They participated in the annual grandchildren egg hunt, but the pictures were blurry because they were running so fast! And the girls looked lovely in their dresses today as well!Rachaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18302569659374677605noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-963670338495129620.post-86394698139410598532014-03-28T17:11:00.000-06:002016-03-31T17:12:11.588-06:00Double Digit<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I don't know why, but both of my girls wanted to wear their pajamas when we had family over for their birthdays. I guess it is because they are so comfortable? We celebrated Emma's birthday this month. Emma is getting to the point where she doesn't want toys, but isn't quite into clothes, so she is hard to shop for. She loves to read, watch movies, play the piano, and play games, so that is what most of her birthday presents were. I am still amazed she has been in our family for 10 years. It goes way too fast...Rachaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18302569659374677605noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-963670338495129620.post-26124819492230329222014-01-30T16:49:00.000-07:002016-03-31T16:50:41.337-06:00Special Seven<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Brielle turned 7 this month! It is tricky to have a birthday soon after Christmas, but she always makes things unique which is good. She chose peanut butter fingers as her birthday dessert! We had family over on her birthday and she received more Lego's. You can see she is especially excited about the Lego Dolphin Cruiser! This year was also her year for a friend party. She had donuts for dessert during that party. It was sort of a "Frozen" party without all of the commercial stuff. They played pin the carrot on Olaf, make snowflakes and icicle pictures and screamed a little! They had a great time. Shortly after her birthday, Brielle also lost her two bottom teeth! She is starting to grow up!</div>

Excitement was in the air this year as you can see from their faces. The girls were spoiled as usual! We didn't do a lot after Christmas because I was not feeling well, but I don't think the girls cared because that meant they could just stay home and play with their toys. Brielle had Lego projects and Emma was making a lot of bracelets. We were able to spend a lot of time with family which is always fun, too! It is always sad when it is over and we have to go back to regular life, but at least we get more sleep!Rachaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18302569659374677605noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-963670338495129620.post-28822765883819542782013-12-20T18:07:00.000-07:002016-01-18T18:07:46.417-07:00Christmas Traditions<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Some of my family's favorite Christmas traditions is sitting on Santa's lap at the Wilson family Christmas party. Even though there are 30 or more children at the party, he still takes his time to listen to each one's request. We have also started to have a Christmas party with Nick's siblings so the cousins can exchange presents without trying to add it to Christmas day. That Christmas party includes a nativity performed by the children and a talent show. Brielle played a Christmas song this year and Emma showed off her dance moves! The girls have had Ginger the Elf watching over our family this year, and even though Ginger created some trouble the girls really loved her. Luckily on Christmas Eve, they are allowed to touch her before she goes back to the North Pole until next year.Rachaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18302569659374677605noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-963670338495129620.post-26662136582613790022013-12-18T17:51:00.000-07:002016-01-18T17:52:22.454-07:00Nick's Birthday<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

As you can see, our tech-savvy daughter is now making us power point cards for our birthday instead of coloring a card for us! Just one way technology changes our lives! We celebrated Nick's birthday in the usual way: family party with pudding cake and presents. We went out to eat as well. Unfortunately, because it falls in the month of December, we don't have a lot of time to party, but I don't think Nick minds. He just likes to see what I can surprise him with for presents since he never gives me any good ideas!Rachaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18302569659374677605noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-963670338495129620.post-74768300719479323042013-11-13T18:24:00.000-07:002016-01-16T18:26:11.112-07:00Halloween<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The other part of fall I love is that it is my birthday and the State Fair. I love to take the girls to the State Fair because I have fond memories of going there when I was a kid and riding the big, yellow slide. We try to go every year. This year, Bridget Mendler was coming to the State Fair in concert, so we took the girls since they love her songs. She was fun to watch, but it was hard for Brielle to see because our seats were on the ground level. At least we can say that we took them to their first concert!Rachaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18302569659374677605noreply@blogger.com0
