While my mom was here we had to go downtown Chicago. It was a perfect day, it had rained in the morning so it was nice and cool and being on a weekday the tourist attractions weren't busy at all.
My mom and I trying to keep up with Will and Jeremy.
We went up the Willis Tower (formerly the Sears Tower). Will thought it was pretty cool.
Will couldn't believe how many yellow taxis and yellow boats he could see being up so high. I just wished that there was a slot for me to drop a penny out the window.
My mom on the other hand, thought it was cool, but didn't like being on the ledge at all. When we left the tower, she bought I t-shirt that said "I went over the edge" because she was proud of herself for stepping out onto the ledge. She told me that night as she took out the t-shirt to look at it again, she just about had a panic attack thinking about it.
In front of Buckingham fountain.
We drove by the temple on the way home. We couldn't remember where it was, so luckily my sister Alyse was home and gave us the address. My mom was able to borrow my temple clothes and go through the Chicago temple.
Will showing off for Grandma singing "a cowboy needs a horse, needs a horse..."
We went to our favorite forest preserve. Will was yelling to my mom "Grandma! I stuck!" And he was.
Making Aunt Debbie's chocolate chip cookies.
My Mom relaxing for a minute at Cantingy Park. It was a cool place that had tanks for boys to climb on, a war museum and lots of different gardens to go venture into.
We had a lot of fun with my mom and treasured every moment. We are grateful we were able to spend so much time together and that she was able to come out and visit us.
