Last Weekend

Last weekend we had a wonderful excuse to spend time in Chicago. Bill's brother, Ben, came to visit from Arizona and he brought the warm weather with him! We drove out early in the morning to make it to the Field Museum before we had to pick Ben up from the airport. The girls were so excited to see the dinosaurs. Campbell has a dinosaur book and it has a picture of an egg. She loves that page, so it was cool to find they had a similar thing on display.

Standing in an Apatosaurus footprint.
They also had an Egypt exhibit that James was so excited about. We walked through a pyramid and saw lots of mummies. James was not liking it by the end. We each tried out the beds that they used to use.
James and I were ahead of Bill and Campbell in the Pyramid and scared them when they came around the corner. Bill loves that kids don't understand glass on the floor. He was trying to get Campbell to stand on it and she just wouldn't.


Ben reading the girls their bedtime story. Ben teaching James to waltz and swing.

They loved spending time with Uncle Ben and the day he left they each asked about 6 times where he was. Campbell was sure he just went to work with Dad. It was so great to have some family visit! And thanks for doing all the electrical work Ben!

What awesome exhibits! That picture of Bill trying to get Campbell to stand on the glass is hilarious. You look like me. James is wearing a cool jacket. Ariel and Adriana have shirts that match it. Does anyone ever tell Ben that he looks like the actor Josh Lucas?

I am with Campbell. My toes were tingling just looking that that terrifying picture of Bill standing on the glass.
