Our summer of 2010 was somewhat of a whirlwind! Jacob and Logan finished their last day of school on June 10th and by June 14th we were in Indiana visiting with their "Great" Uncle Steve and Aunt Jackie! Their grandma had also gotten there just before us. The trip was long, but we had a good time. We made it in one day, and I must say, the Nintendo DS is the greatest invention ever! Although we did alot of sight seeing, the games kept the boys busy during the riding times and made the time fly by!
While in Indiana, the boys (and I) got to meet my cousin Alana who is around the same age as the boys. They had a great time together exploring the land at Steve's. Between fishing, bonfires, and silly toys, they had a blast and were not ready to depart when it was time for Alana to go home! They still talk about her and hope they can meet again one day soon!
While visiting the North, we took the opportunity to take the boys to Chicago via the train in Indiana. They LOVED the train ride and although it was nearly 2 hours long, it went by in a flash and the boys were amazed! We went through lots of country sides, but also many towns where the train went right down the middle of the street! It was really neat and the boys hope to do it again one day. While in Chicago, we visited several places. We first went to the Museum of Science and Industry. I don tknow if the boys had a favorite part, they loved it all and were not ready to go even when we were stretched for time.
We also visited the Sears Tower (now named the Willis Tower)...yep, all the way to the top, all 100 floors!

Nothing but a layer of glass between them and the ground!
