Chicago.

My dad turned 70 this week. Eli and I flew up to surprise him. Eli was super pumped to go on a little adventure. He was a good traveling companion. We took a cab from the airport. And walked in to a completely surprised grandpa. Grandma Lila kept

The secret very well

Sunset on the airplane. 

We woke up and took my diabetic father out for a very high carb breakfast. 



He showed us the Temple. Then showed us the mission office. 



We then went and got Grandma Lila and went to the Navy Pier. 

Eli and Grandma. 





We went on the Ferris wheel. It was invented in Chicago for 1893 world’s fair. 



We took a river cruise. They showed us the architecture and gave history of Chicago. 











Looking up at the sears now Willis Tower. 









After the river cruise we went to the Sears Tower. 









Grandma Lila took us to a very fancy European bakery. Bought this little guy for Eli. 

Long day. Happy Birthsay Papa Hugh. 

End of the School year.

The end of the school year has lots of fun activities. Emmy had a reading restaurant. Basically she red me an appetizer, a main course, then a dessert. The funniest thing was the bill was. “Hugs” and a “kiss” was optional. 

That night we had Tessa’s graduation from preschool. She is such a funny kid. She already has a ton of sight words and is trying to read. 

Here is the cutest hobbit in the world. 

Moms away. Dad can play.

We found this little guy. He was headed to the lake. We gave him some snacks along the way. 

Took the kids out to MOD pizza 

They all get excited about having their own pizza. 

They turned their boxes into computers. Emmy even has access to internet and to games. Emmy used hers then asked if she knew anyone that would want to buy her book!  Oh. Bridget will be so proud. 

Here is my favorite art. Tessa made this.
