When it isn't your season . . .

Matt and Nick are basketball players and it is football season so they decided to help out at the Monticello High School Football game last night!  I am sure they were a big help to the refs!

The Towers of Chicago

 We did the Willis (Sears) Tower and the John Hancock Tower. My personal favorite is the Hancock Tour with Lake Michigan. The guys liked the Skydeck Ledge (not me!).

I had sent in a welcome message

What a city!

Zipping Along . . . . .

Colton

Grandma and Grandpa took 4 of their grandsons and Lori out to Meramec Caverns for the day. The guys went zip lining for the first time.  They loved it!

Happy Birthday Eric!

Happy 18th Birthday E-Man!  Eric is starting his senior year at St. Charles West High School. Wishing you a superb birthday and a great year!  We love you Eric!

Baseball the Chicago Way!

Colton, Kyle, Eric and Aunt Nancy spent three days in Chicago! Baseball is a priority - we toured Wrigley Field and went to a White Sox game. 

The famed Wrigley Field bleachers!

The view from the press room.

One of the bricks outside the stadium - many reflected this theme!

Cubs Locker Room

The seats on the rooftops.  Cubs now get 17% of the revenue from those seats in exchange for not putting up a wind fence.

Taking the Red Line to White Sox game.  Going was fine but coming back to hotel it was CRAZY!  The game and Lalapalooza crowds were unreal. 

Elvis night at the ballpark - he was in front of us!

The White Sox were playing the Angels - we promptly booed Albert! He did hit a home run but the Angels still lost!
