Sunday Fun day May 3, 2009-UPDATED PIXS now

The road up to the bridge was open and then it was walking only. Christmas carriage ride.

Watch me Maddie, I can fly from here.

WHHHHEEEEE all the way down.

Entering Long Grove.



Babcia, I am WAY TOO OLD to go on those kiddie rides.

Entertainment on the main road.

At the Nature Center, Maddie with a cute statue of kids.

In the forest and climbed up on a tree trunk.

Loving sisters.

Have you hugged a tree today??

We found this cage in the forest, I think it needs some kind of covering, like bear skin perhaps?

Hanging the kids out to dry, oops I meant they are having fun on this bar.

We hade gone to church services and thougth that Maddie would enjoy spending the class with Stevie, well I was wrrong. She was back by my side in half an hour. Oh well, maybe next time. After services, we always go downstairs for cake and cookies hour in the basement of the church. Then we went home to get some fresh clothes for Ela and Julia before heading out for the DAY. Maddie joined, Ela, Julia & Stevie with Babcia. We went to Long Grove for the Chocolate Festival there, also called Richie for directions, just in case I was wrong. Did some kiddie rides, had funnel cakes, corn dogs, fries, drinks, more rides then off to see more things. We ended up in Schaumburg at the Nature Center (Spring Valley). We had never been there, so good enough reason to go. We spent over 2 hours walking around, climbing trees, looking behind bushes, in the water for fishes, jumping mud puddles. Then we finished and needed to go potty, while driving in the area we stopped at Ciocia Anna's house, good enough for a potty break. Spent some time visiting with Anna and Shelly and then it was off to go have dinner. After dinner it was time to drop Maddie back home, (Karen worked Sat, Sun & Mon 12 hour shifts) Steve was working on projects at home with Stevie & Lily at home with him. We got back to Suzia's home around 8:45pm. Time to get ready for bed and drop off to sleep. School on Monday starts early for Ela, at 7:15 am., she has band practice. Busy Monday, Monday, till then, bye bye.
Pictures will be posted when I get back to my computer again.
