Summer Saturday

 Cleaned out the pool this weekend. Ben and Kj came up and Ella ran through the sprinkler on the ground. Mia also put it under the trampoline for her. The pool's all nice and clean, filling up with water. although mia and jess weren't happy campers cleaning it out.

 a very hot 75 degree day to be cleaning it out.

Chicago

Ben took me on a trip to Chicago to hang out with President and Sister Doll while he had some work

to do there.  It was fun and we got a chance to do a few things.  Ok I was taking pictures of stuff

and never took Sherm and Linda's picture while I was there.  How dumb is that.  We ate chicago pizza real good, we had a chicago dog downtown by Wrigley Field.  I went with Linda and the missionaries

on a teaching appointment. The Hermanas did a real good job teaching. Ben went with Sherm to the ball game at Wrigley. We went to the Field museum and saw an interesting exhibit about horses and Africa.   I went to my first Zone conference which was fun to see the missionaries and here about what they do.  Linda gave a real good discussion on prayer.  I had to leave early and missed Sherms talk but I'm sure it was good.  Ben and I went to downtown Chicago and checked out the tallest building the Sears tower which is now the Willis Tower Skydeck that has a see through floor.  A little scary 103 floors up. Then we ate at the Italian Village We also ate the night before at the Bone Fish Grill yummy.  He said when in Chicago eat like the Chicagoans and we did.  We had a fun few days. 

Thanks Sherm and Linda for having me!  hope the flooded basement gets finished.

And Ben for driving me around in his rental car a CUBE

The weather was nice when we were there Lake Michigan was calm

Chicago has tons of tall buildings

Scary see through ledge you can walk out on  lots of people wouldn't walk out there even

More tall buildings and Ben jumping off the 103 floor of the Willis skydeck
if you look close you can see gardens on the top of the buildings

Ben liked these style houses below is the Frank Lloyd Wright house

At the Field Museum Dinosaur picture for you Kael and Max

While Mia takes over her old babysitting job in Hooper, and working at Stefani's with any work she needs to have done. So the days are long and the nights are short...
