We had a blast hanging out with family in Chicago this past weekend. We drove down Thursday evening and were ready for family festivities to begin Friday morning. The family reunion kicked off with a breakfast at Walker Bros, a family favorite.
Then we headed to the park.
Followed by a birthday party for GeeGee turning 90!
Aunt Nancy planned a fun scavenger hunt for the kids (and dads!) after the party!
That afternoon the kids all swam in the hotel pool, followed by a yummy dinner at Red Robin. On Saturday, we had the annual photo shoot with GeeGee in the shirts she had given the kids the day prior. They turned out really cute!
After pictures, we headed for some delicious Giordanno's pizza!
And then, bowling!
Dinner was at Panera.
The grandparents babysat the kids so the cousins could go mini golfing Saturday night! So fun! Thanks, Grandparents!
On Sunday, we all gathered in our hotel room.
 |
| Aunt Nancy and Uncle Paul gave Summer her birthday present early - a doll wardrobe! She was ecstatic! |
 |
| We had a mini church service all together which was really fun! We are so blessed to have a family that loves the Lord. |
 |
| We sang together. |
 |
| The kids sang a VBS song they had each individually practiced, but put together. |
 |
| Rowan and Cruz sang a song together. |
 |
| Larkyn recited the first four verse of 1 Corinthians 13 (our family memory verse for the summer). |
 |
| Summer read the story of Adam and Eve from Genesis 3. |
 |
| Colton and Grandpa did a science object lesson showing our need for Jesus. |
It was a wonderful weekend and I am so grateful for family!
