Sweet Home Chicago...

Last weekend we headed to Chicago and one of its suburbs, Hinsdale, to spend some quality time with cousins. We arrived on Thursday and went swimming at the club my cousins belong to. Payton loved splashing in the water and playing under the mushroom waterfall.

On Friday, Uncle Tom, Ty and I drove down to Wrigleyville to meet up with Louis. We hung at Higgins' Bar before the rain delayed game and then headed down to the ballpark. Unfortunately, the Cubs lost, but that did not stop us from enjoying ourselves. Several of our friends were in town as well, so we joined them at local establishments for food and drinks.

Saturday morning we headed back to the burbs and went to an animal park with the kids. Payton slept the entire time!!! Early afternoon we packed up the car and drove back to Springfield. Hopefully they will be able to come down and visit us during the State Fair.
