I handed off the baton and then had to speed home because the half marathon was running right in front of our house and if I had any chance in watching that, I had to beat the lead runners to our street.
May is also dance recital weekend (same weekend as the race). This year Elsa did combo ballet/tap and hippy hop. She LOVES dance and she LOVES dad's dance. This year was Blues Brothers. But, man alive, it is an exhausting weekend!!! There are five recitals and she had 8 dances (three for her and five with dad for Dad's dance). She was a tropper though and she loved to sneak up to the balcony to watch the older girls dance.
Both grandmas came into town to watch her recital!
May is also Elsa's birthday. I can't believe she is 6!!! We had my cousin's wedding on her birthday. So, we took her to Chicago Memorial weekend. Her friend Sydney and her parents joined us for the fun weekend!!
Birthday dinner at Rainforest cafe
Visit to the Shedd aquarium. They were studying spiders in school and she had to take a picture with a tarantula.
Aaron took Chet back to the hotel because he was in desperate need of a nap. We did the 4D show.
On a water taxi back to Navy Pier
And, a trip to Chicago wouldn't be complete without a visit to American Girl
We had so much fun at Meredith and Jon's wedding. It was fun to celebrate and see my mom's extended family.
My In-laws watched the kids while we were at the wedding. Then, on Sunday we celebrated her birthday with cousins.
