Last week, we had such a great time visiting Chicago! We had been looking forward to the trip for a while and the best part was the down time that we got to spend with family. After the requirements at shul were over and we were able to catch up with many of our old friends, we were able to take advantage of the beautiful weather and spend casual family time.
Riley enjoyed spending time in some of his old stomping grounds and even got to stay in his old room for a few nights. It looked a little different but once he unpacked, he felt right at home. We celebrated our birthdays complete with cake and gifts and Riley's garage got a new slew of additions.
Riley had a great time exploring the house and checking out each and every corner - even the one with the sticky mouse trap in it. Once he figured out what it was and tried to get it off his foot, it turned into a family activity that everyone helped to participate in. Once all his toes were set free and cleared of sticky, he was off to do more exploring.
The visit was wonderful and Riley was great on the plane rides both ways. Thank goodness for entertainment devices and movies!
