I was so proud of the girls who successfully traveled solo from SLC to Midway Chicago. We had been missing them badly and were so excited for their arrival. Notice Maddie is holding the Breaking Dawn book, which she camped out at Wal-Mart for until it came out at midnight. She got buttons and stickers and all kinds of treats for being one of the crazy campers. Go Twilight!
I must add that the day was not without its troubles. Their flight was delayed for 2 hours due to thunderstorms in Chicago. But, by the time they got here it was very hot and humid. So we went to the park near our house just to be able to stretch the kid muscles after they had been sitting for many hours. It was very hot, but within about 30 min. there were some really strange cloud formations that were moving very quickly and getting very dark. I told the kids that we'd better get home and within 2 min. it was pouring down rain with major thunder and lightning. Suddenly the TV was blaring out a warning about tornados in our area. The kids were crying because the TV was telling us to get to our basements, and it was a very loud and scary storm. Sure enough, there were 3 touch-downs in our area that night. Thankfully, our immediate neighborhood was safe. Welcome to the mid-west girlie girls.

Nice work. You have a very upbeat and positive tone to your blog. I came across your blog while blog surfing using the “next blog” button on the Nav Bar of blogger.com. I am continually fascinated by the types of blogs that exist on the Internet, and the various, creative ways in which people all over the globe express themselves. Thanks for sharing.
My blog is dedicated simply to making people think differently about societal issues. As I often tell people, instead of encouraging people to believe that there are 2 or 3 ways to look at something, I want them to realize that there are at least 27. Hopefully such an approach will result in more creative, innovative solutions to societal ills. Have a visit should you like, and subscribe for updates should you like the substance.
Additionally, you and your kids might find the writings on Letters from Papa instructive. The link appears in the right column of my blog:

I'm so glad you are all reunited!!!!! And making all kinds of new friends like the guy who commented before me...
There is so much to do out in the windy city; you will have so much fun! My boys are super jealous of the lego center. It brought back fond Legoland memories.
