Another annual Indiana trip has come and gone--so quickly! Actually, this was one of our longest, action-packed trips to the Midwest to date!!- Flew into Chicago, spent the night in one of the most AMAZING hotel rooms at the Palmer House...all for $80, I might add...thank you Priceline!!! Brookey said she felt like Eloise on the tippy-top floor :)
- Spent the morning in Chicago, playing in Millennium Park before driving to meet my brother in law and family for lunch Highland Park. Then, off to Wisconsin for the Baptism of Scott's Goddaughter, Gracie!
- 5 hour drive from Wisconsin to Indiana where we spent 8 days hanging out at the lake, going to BBQ's and getting in some quality family time.
The kids both did very well in my opinion given the time change, driving, plane rides and just the general craziness of being away from home. I was stressing out (a lot) before the trip but once we were there, I was pleased to realize how adaptable they really were.
Buddy got very restless on the flight home which was pretty much the fault of Scott and I. We should have stayed in Chicago the night before our flight, but instead we decided to wake up early in Indiana, drive 3 hours to Chicago and get on a 5 hour plane ride. That is A LOT of car seat time for 'Lil Buddy. He did as good as he could do :-)
It was one of our most fun trips yet, even with all the craziness and travel. I know Brookey can't WAIT to go back! She's already asking about next year!!

Brookey loved the dogs and swimming in the lake
They look like they're high-5'ing, but they're really ready to beat each other up!
Brookey learned to shuck corn! Getting in touch with her Indiana roots!
