A Fun Weekend

This weekend The Castillo's were here from Texas! They drove up from Indy with Kim (nanny) and Ernie (gampa) in a 12 passanger van, that became known as the "tank"! On Friday when they arrived we set up a tent and screen house and then David cooked burgers on the grill for everyone, we had 15 burgers on at one time, I think it might have taken him back to the days of Fridays (haha) Connor,Della,Miranda and Roel all got to meet the babies for the first time, and they all held them as quickly as they could! We had a good night around the firepit and the kids slept outside in the tent! On Sat. we woke up very early and made the hour drive to Wisconsin to go to the Jelly Belly tour and factory, the kids had fun and we bought alot of Jelly Bellies! After that we drove to the beach of Lake Michigan on the Wisconsin border, the kiddos were very happy to get their feet wet!Unfortunatley the babies stayed in the "tank" because they needed to eat,so no beach for them. We drove home from the beach to lounge and eat lunchmeat sandwiches before we made the trek to Woodfield Mall, for the lego store, LUSH, and Chicago souveniers. By then we were hungry again so we stopped at Portillos for Chicago hot dogs! Satuday night was eventful with a trip to the ER because Julianna hit her head on our bathtub, she had a CT scan and all is well with her just a bit fussy. Of course David and I have never been so scared in our lives, it is crazy how it feels to love someone so much especially since we have only known here for 2months! On Sunday we slept in and went to Chicago's Brookfield Zoo for Davids company picnic. We luckily got there just in the knick of time for the lunch part. We had burgers,hotdogs and fried chicken along with some yummy ice cream! Of course we don't do things calmly so we did the zoo in our poncho's with alot of rain! Fortunatley the kiddos had alot of fun, and we were able to keep the babies dry! Sunday night we ordered Chicago pizza and devoured it up! It was a really fun weekend, and we are so happy that Julianna and Jacey got to meet their cousins,tio and see their Auntie "M", nanny and gampa!
