Chicago Visit Part 3–everything else

On the 3rd day we kept things more low key. Ally helped Uncle Phil in the yard picking up sticks  and she earned some money for helping out.

The adults spent 3 hours planning Martha and Phil’s upcoming trip to Disney World, and Ally kept her self occupied for most of that time. After lunch we saw the new bear movie.

During the week Ally and I played on the iPad, and she read some to Aunt Martha.

Ally’s favorite place to hang out was on the porch in the chaise lounge.

One night they all played Chomp. This picture is from Martha & Phil’s wedding 40 years ago this summer. I told Ally she knew everyone in the picture. She was skeptical, so I told her Grandma Barbie was there. She immediately pointed to Mimi! She couldn’t believe that my mom had long dark hair once. All she knows is Grandma Barbie with short gray/white hair. She was amazed that Grandma had really long dark hair. Then I pointed out Gruncle & Aunt Suzie, Grandpa Frank and Aunt Martha & Uncle Phil and she was astounded. I just love this picture and had to take a picture of it.

Cartwheels and playing at the park. Ipad games with mama.

Ally and Uncle Phil outside with Daisy. Daisy loved Ally. She would follow Ally all around the house. She would get up if Ally came into the room. It was hilarious. Ally was a good sport about the whole thing.

At the movies, and on our last night, looking at cousin Katy’s girl scout things.

We had a really nice vacation week. Thank you both for everything.
