Where did the summer go? I mean -- IT'S AUGUST, PEOPLE!! Before you know it, the kids will be going back to school. I miss them already...
I wanted to plan one REALLY BIG THING for Grandma Camp 2018. What I decided (and could afford) was a mini-vacation to Chicago and THE BROOKFIELD ZOO..!!
The kids were excited to have Uncle Ross join us (he can do the driving!). It's a 3-hour drive. I booked a hotel that had an indoor swimming pool and a free breakfast.
 |
| Lilly was trying to connect the Playaway book from the library (but I had the wrong cord)... |
 |
| But we didn't have to worry about entertainment...both kids slept on the trip into the city. |
 |
| Ross is an excellent driver. (and I'm an excellent sleeper) |
 |
| At the hotel, the kids quickly discovered they had CUSTOM SUCKERS! (Thank you Marriott). |
 |
| Hey -- riding in an elevator is a big adventure for a coupla country kids... |
 |
| But our first day in the city will be spent IN THE POOL..!! |
Unfortunately, I forgot to pick up the pool bag with the kids' swimsuits. Ugh. Happily, without skipping a beat, Lilly said,
"we can just swim in our shorts, Grandma -- nobody will care."
 |
| I DID remember to pack the pool noodles!! |
 |
| Uncle Ross joined in the fun!! |
 |
| Really. It was THAT MUCH FUN. |
This Grandma Camp trip is off to a GREAT START..!!
