At the End of June we went to Chicago to visit some family. It was so much fun. We flew on a airplane with both kids and to be honest with you I was very nervous. But the boys did great!!! Butch loved the airplane and can't wait to go again. Our 1st trip was to Lincoln memorial. This is actually in I believe Springfield Ill. It is pretty close to where James's brother Frank lives. This 1st picture Butch is picking his nose.
This is all of us with cousins Landon and Drew by the memorial.
The outside of it. James loved the statues uptop.
James and the boys. and Rock Star looking at a model of Abraham Lincoln's neighborhood.
James and Frank waiting for the tour of Abe's house to begin.
James and Butch with a worker lady.
Rocky waiting for the tour
This was Abe's real desk and mirror. I thought this was pretty cool.
After we finished with Abe's stuff we went and visited James's dads grave. I have never been and wanted to see it. It was pretty neat and am really glad we went. James had a sister Danika that passed and her grave was there also and they have one for his mom Emily too.
After that we went back to Franks house and the kids played outside while James mowed there lawn. They have a John Deere Dumper thing and my boys loved it. Santa might get them one this year.
The next day we surprised uncle Ed at his birthday party and unfortantley I didn't take any pictures but one of the days we went to the Polish fest and had fun. We got the Book of Morman in Polish for my dad. They had a lot of cool things showing what polish do. We ate polish food and the kids played at the park. It was a fun day!
Butch wanted to try the Wall Climbing they let him and he went all the way to the top. And he was so light that he couldn't come down so they had to get him. When he was up at the top he said he could see everything. He had so much fun.
On another day we went to Shedd Aquiram. It was fun!!!
Last but not least we went to Soldier Field.(thats where the Chicago Bears play) One of these days James is going to go and watch them play. We love Da Bears!!!
We love family Vacations and wish we could do it all the time. We loved spending time with the Verenski's and can't wait to go back.
Notice on this picture james and rocky look so much alike. Mabey one of these days one of my kids will look like me.
