Weekend recap

It's Tuesday and I'm recapping our weekend.

We headed out of town on Friday afternoon. Now, anyone who has tried to cross the IL/IN state line on 80/94 at rush hour knows the aggravation. UGH!!!!!! So, we got to our hotel a little later than planned. The DVD player in the van took a poo on us on the way there so DD was a little ticked about that. Anyway, we went to the drive in theater to see "Wizard of Oz". Our daughter LOVED watching it on the BIG screen. We also saw "Invicible" with it - that was pretty good!

Saturday, we checked out, had breakfast at the Bob Evans next to the hotel and headed to the Festival. The weather was AMAZING!!!!! 80 and sunny. Perfect! Now, it has been 3 years since we went the last time and they have moved it from downtown Chesterton to the fairgrounds there. I was pretty disappointed in the parade. There were several crafters and lots of food though! : ) We went out to the van and took naps for a couple of hours then brought DD back into the festival for the Glinda contest. By far she was the littlest one and she was SUCH a ham!!!! She smiled and waved like a little parade queen. DS just laughed at her. He was such a good sport for going because I think he was bored out of his mind.

We left Chesterton around 5 and headed into Chicago for a couple of hours. We visited Hershey Place - that was pretty cool! We have about 6 pounds of chocolate that followed us home too.... We went into American Girl Place just to look around. We stayed in Rosemont.

Sunday we went to the Cubs game - they won!!!!!!!!!!! 11-3!!!!!!!!!! It was so nice to go to a game that they actually won. We had a great time and the weather held up until we got out of the park. As soon as we stepped out the gate (I SWEAR!) the skies opened up!!!!!!! We got out the umbrellas and fought the downpour on the way to the van. We were soaking wet by the time we got there. Then, while DH & DS went to find a bathroom and I got DD in the carseat and dried off as best I could, I discovered the driver's side window had been left open! ARGH!!!!!!! Besides the fact that everything was soaked, DH is lucky that everything was still in the van!

I will post pictures of our weekend later. We had a really busy but fun weekend.
