Chicago Part 4

shopping in Chicago.... fun shopping hated the driving and parking!

Oh how I love American Girl dolls!!
We went to this restaurant called "Dicks" its one of those where they are rude to you, they weren't really rude to us, I think the fact that we don't drink had something to do with it... They made us each hats with something somewhat rude on them..... Caitlyn's said "everytime I laugh a little pee comes out", Jaimie's said I french braid my back hair", Madz said "Not all blondes are dumb but I am" Kaylie's said I have more face book friends then real friends, Mine said, "Ya they are all mine, I want to keep trying until I have a boy", and Winter's said, " I steal my underwear from goodwill". It was a fun.... Now we were ready to settle down for the real reason we drove all this way....

Chicago part 3


The 3rd day we went to Six Flags... it was so much fun... It was blasted hot so we really liked the water slide part of the park... There was one slide that you stand in a tube and the bottom just comes out from underneath you... it was so scary but so fun at the same time... I had one of those I can't be old and made myself go on the slide.. the girls laughed so hard at me because I guess I tryed to grip the slide with both my hands and feet to save myself from dropping.
After the park. We went that night to the scarriest/ funniest hotel adventure of the trip... We walked in and let's be honest we're are Hampton snobs and like to only stay there, Tom booked us a room at the Super 8 walking in alone was scary, there were all these truckers tail gating outside, some creeper on the internet right by the elevator as we announce are room number to the world... we were scared!! When we got into the room there was this nasty bug on the bed so we all screamed and the neighbors yelled really profane language at us.... we then looked under the mattress to see if we had bed bugs we didn't but there was this nasty big blood stain on the underside of the mattress. (Winter has this whole scene on her phone I will see if I can post this)... Anyway we all grabbed our stuff and got the heck out of dodge! We drove down the street to the Hampton and got away from the hotel on "the corner of rape and murder" as said by Kaylie! We laughed for months about the whole night...

Chicago #2

The second day after we stopped at Car henge we drove into Iowa and stopped at this little pizza place.... they did not have a bathroom so we walked across the street to some vacation bible school party to use theirs.... We acted like we were part of the church congregation.. They were very nice, Maddie left a lovely prayer.... they did some "Owling"
and "planking"
It was a nice break from the long drive..... back on the road

Road trip to Chicago Part 1

Car henge....

Last Day of School

As lame as it is, July also brings us our last day of school for the elementary kids.... Canyon and his new best friend Blake, it was their last day of Kindergarten (I'm so sad he will go to school all day!)
Liv's last day of 4th grade!

4th of July 2011

For the 4th of July, we always perform at the Stadium of Fire...
It is so much fun, the day before it is a lot of hard work in the hot hot sun, but it is worth it in the end performing for so many and getting to be down on the field for the concert and the fireworks. It does split my family (boys and girls) which I don't love but it is a fun tradition none the less... Above crazy liv a love...
