It's been FOREVER!

I can't even remember everything that has happened since I last blogged!  So I'm going to just jump right in.  Hopefully I'll be able to remember some things and go back and blog about them at a future date.  For today I will blog about our trip to Chicago.

For Kalei's "heaven-vesary" we did not want to stay in town for that weekend.  So we decided to go to Chicago for a long weekend.  It was an OK trip.  The "resort" we stayed in would only have gotten about 2 stars(out of 5) from me if I was rating it.  Oh well.  You live and learn.

We did eat some yummy food.  We got to see Michael Jordan--his statue anyway.  We saw some not so nice parts of Chicago.  We paid A LOT in tolls.  We went to LegoLand.  And we spent some nice time together.  Oh and I did not get a lot of sleep.

C got back from junior camp Friday afternoon.  We left for Chicago Saturday morning.  I think he was coming down off of a major "sugar/too much food coloring" high.  Plus suffering from a lack of sleep.  Thus, I did not get a lot of sleep.  Why you ask? He had nightmares every night while we were in Chicago.  We all slept in the same room.  These were not just little moans in the night.  They were off & on for 2 hours, crying out.  SO.  TIRED.

On to the pictures.  They are in no particular order.  Sorry.  Hey! At least there are pictures.

There was also a statue of 2 famous Blackhawk players.  Who? you ask.  No idea.

He was so excited.  He wore all his MJ gear for the occasion.

Just about everything was made out of Legos.  This is LeLa (LegoLand).  Isn't she cute?

C kept calling him something else; and for the life of me I cannot remember what!

There was an entire section that was the city of Chicago made out of Legos.

Navy Pier. (which we did not go to; I wish we would have)

Even a crime scene.  Cracked me up!

Then the jungle area.

C said this was one of his favorite things at LegoLand.

I think R2D2 is so cute!

Too funny!

Indiana Jones

Batman

Obama (C didn't want his picture taken with him)

Can you find C?

In this section, you built a building................

..................and put it on the earthquake table to see if it would last.

C got to build a fish in a master builder class.  This is his Kalei pose.

The mini golf course at the resort.

Darth Vader was outside LegoLand.

Awesome burgers!

Awesome pizza!

My sweet friend S delivered homemade cinnamon rolls for us to bake before we left for Chicago.
We took the rest with us.  YUM!

On our way out of town, we stopped to see Kalei and released 6 balloons.  I miss that girl.

Somewhere in Indiana, there is a wind farm.  There were hundreds of these for miles!

A place to get good hot dogs.

And the decor was, um, interesting.

Our resort.
