The boys had a great time they loved the take off, the last time they were on a plane was when Tanner was almost 2 and Kaden was 2 months, so they don't remember any of it. I did OK on the flight, the anticipation was way worse than the flight itself. Kali loved it as well, the first flight was only an hour and a half so she didn't get to antsy.
After landing in Chicago we had about an hour until the next flight, we didn't make it:(. We had 7 hours until the next chance out. So I though I concurred my fear of flying why not take it a step further and ride a train to downtown Chicago by myself with three kids. I had a great time the kids didn't want to walk so much, to bad for them. It was fun. There was no one else on the train so Tanner and Kaden ran around for about an hour until our stop. Kali slept.
A pretty shot of Chicago. It was so neat I have never been to such a big city before.
You can tell Tanner is having a great time!!We walked a couple of blocks to Millenniums Park, it boarders Lake Michigan. The silver bubble behind the Kids was one of many huge art pieces in the park.
This is the kids standing next to the same art piece, it was really neat.
After walking around the city for about 2 and a half hours we needed to head back to the airport for our second attempt at getting on a flight. We made this one, we were so excited to almost be home. The kids had been up since 2:00 so they were pooped, they slept the majority of the 3 and a half hours home.
We're home, we had a great welcome at the airport, everyone came, my whole family, it was very emotional. For weeks before we came the kids would argue about who got to hold Mylie first, they all got there chance. 
Kali thinks she is big enough to hold , she surprised me and Amy one day by getting her out of her crib all by herself. What a big helper.
FUN WITH FRIENDS
I got to go out to breakfast with some friends from highshool and all there kids, its amazing how we have multiplied.
We all went swimming at Rachel's mom's house.
This is at the bountiful rec. They did a really good job with it, the kids had a blast.
BEARLAKE
we spent a week at bearlake, it was so nice to get out of the heat. We had smores almost every night.
We also spent a lot of time a the beach.
All the grand kids together for the first time. What cute kids.
This is all the kids getting pulled by the tractor in the boat. They thought it was funner than going on the boat in the water.
The whole gang at the beach.
arn't they tricky!!
CHERRY HILL
Amy and Jeff invited us to cherry hill, it was a lot of fun, it been a while since we have been there.
EAGLE WOOD FIREWORKS
What a view, I miss it, don't get me wrong NC is beautiful but this is unbeatable.
