It was the first vacation as a family and we were excited! We left Friday morning, the garbage did not come on time so we had to wait around to pull the cans back from the road. We started off later then we wanted to, but that is the rule of entropy, nothing goes perfectly. We stopped in Marshall to see Kate and the X-boys. Unfortunately, Xach slept most of the time but Xander was his usual awesome self, he loved the trucks! We walked down to the Dark Horse restaurant for lunch for some outdoor atmosphere. Luckily we got back in time, after an ice cream stop.....Anthony can't walk past ice cream stores, to get to Kate's house just before it started raining. We left at 5ish so we would get to Chicago after rush hour. We got set back again due to the closure of 94, gotta love Michigan construction. Julien slept most of the way to Chicago so it went well. We got in at about 9pm and I put him and me to bed so we would be fresh for the Green Festival. We drove to Navy Pier on Saturday for the Green Festival and were a bit bummed that it was indoors when it was 65 and sunny outside but there were a ton of fun booths and good vege food and speakers to keep us entertained. I got to see Amy Goodman(Check out Democracy Now) which was one of the main reasons for going. Julien started to crash out after that so we were only able to stay 3 hours. Oh well, life with a baby. We relaxed the rest of the weekend at Molly and Jim's and ate some great meals! We loved seeing Clare and William, can't wait to see you more at the cottage!
Xander and Anthony walked back from the Dark Horse together, they got sick of the girl talk.
There is the tip of Xach's head!
Crashed out, it is so tiring being walked everywhere!
Julien looks extra chubbs here.
Talking cockatoo at the Green Festival, Julien loved it and got to pet bunnies too!
