Chicago Trip

Oh heavens this is going to be long!
We had an absolute blast!!! My Uncle Eric and Aunt LoLo (Laurel) Live in Chicago, in the Lincoln Park area with their twin boys Jack and Parker, so we went over to visit them. My dad flew in from Montreal where he has been for the last 3 months. We felt like royalty during our stay, they were fabulous hosts! We hit the Sears tower our first day, along with Michigan Ave. and Millenium Park (way cool place)! We had Chicago Dogs for Lunch, and the best (seriously) Chicago Pizza for dinner our first day :) The next day we headed out to their cottage on Lake Michigan. It was so beautiful and completely charming. At nights we gathered out on their porch to play cards, and just talk and hang. We had incredibly great food catered to us on the beach :) with beautiful sun sets. Since we have returned home, Becca keeps asking for Jack and Parker, the beach, airplane, and Joyce (inside joke). Thanks Aunt LoLo and Uncle Eric! We miss you guys already! Thanks to Jack & Parker for Beccas new nick name LBB (little Bo Becca :).
