Chicago Part 2

I just love scrapbooking my visits with the grandkids... so of course I took some pictures of us together.


I bought the girls matching dresses that were sooo cute. Here is Avery in hers...


Trey got a new tie! Doesn't he look handsome?


Here is Kinsey in her dress.


And look at these sweet grandkids! I just love 'em!

My trip to Chicago - Part 1

I was able to go and visit Kim and her family this past week. I really enjoyed being there with them. On Saturday we took the kids to a place called Pirates Cove. It was a great place and the kids really had a good time. Here we are at the entrance ready to see what was instore for us.


They had a fun play ground area where there were things to climb and slides to slide. This one required climbing up some castle stairs and sliding down a slide. The kids had to do this one at least twice!


The fun thing about this park was that alot of the "rides" were kid propelled. Here is Avery in the boats and to make them go you had to use your arms to make the paddle wheels move. She and Trey had to do this one twice too!


Can you believe this? They had this climbing wall for the kids. You had to be bigger and weigh 45 lbs to really get this to work right. Trey was too small and so he couldn't do it but even though Avery was too light, they allowed her to climb up a short distance. Look at her go!!!


Another great slide. This time you walked up the stairs with a potato sack which helped you slide down this BIG slide. After Avery, Trey and Kim went down, Kinsey and I decided to go with them. The park was really set up for kids about 2-10 years old. It was a great concept!


The merry-go-round is one of 2 rides where you didn't have to do the work to get it going. But the kids really enjoyed going uuuupppp and ddoowwnn and round and round.


Of course there was a pirate ship at the park.... but it was more a place to sit and eat your lunch rather than play... but we had to check it out and do some pretending.


Kim and Kinsey are ready to go on the Safari Train. This was the other ride we just enjoyed sitting on without having to do any work. Avery and Trey enjoyed this one as well. When I asked Avery which ride she liked most she named them all, one by one. I guess this outing was a success!
