We had such a nice weekend, except getting trapped in a horrid traffic jam on 90 on Friday night! You know it is bad when you can put the car into park on the express way. They are doing bridge work and moved the cars to one lane and just made a mess. So, we landed up being there for an extra 45 minutes. There went our evening swim. The kids and I were up early and hit the pool right at 7 am. It was a nice pool for the hotel, and a giant hottub. We then had breakfast that came with the room and hit the House on the Rock. My kids really loved it. Ds was so enthralled with the weapons collections there, and dd with the dolls, and the musical rooms. They have whole rooms that are filled with instruments that are mechanical. There are violins with bows being pulled across, flutes being tooted, etc... It isn't a recording, but all well timed mechanical machines doing it. The kids said they want to go back in another year or so. We took the scenic route home since we didn't want to hit the traffic again. Sunday, we slept in for a bit. Dh went to get the dog and the kids and I went to church and religious ed. The dog was nutty when Dh got him, dh didn't have the heart to go to church and leave him alone. The dog sat between his feet until the kids and I got home. I always get the nuerotic beasts.
I went by my self to see the Chicago Wolves hockey game, they are in the playoffs. They lost in OT, Dh and the kids were headed to the scouts fishing derby and picnic when it started to rain. Picnic cancelled. Ds was so sad he started to cry, He hasn't fished since the last picnic. Then the kids went with their friends to the carnival and the Taste. We hosted our regular bridge game. I work 1/2 the day today and then need to do some laundry. We are heading back to Wisconsin this weekend, so I need to get ready.
