Summer Vacation

Our summer vacation was spent on a whirlwind tour of Chicago, South Bend and Michigan.  It was a crazy, fun filled and exhausting trip to say the least!  First stop was Chicago, where we saw many of our close friends and celebrated the wedding of dear friends Arvin and Kelly.  The wedding was gorgeous and we had a blast!

Special thanks to Bob's brother Mike and his parents for watching Erin and Scotty while we danced the night away in downtown Chicago.  I would not have made it through the day of the wedding without help from Nell.  Bob was tied up since he was a groomsman, so Nell stepped in to fill his boots.  She chauffeured me around town, helped me check in to the hotel, moved all my luggage for me, and kept me sane (all while helping me wrangle two kids)!  Seriously, she was my guardian angel for that day!

On our way out of town, we got to see Nate at work.  Erin thinks that Uncle Nate makes the best chicken ever :)  Scotty loved meeting his Uncle Nate for the first time and we were sad our visit had to be so short!

After that, we made a quick stop in South Bend to see Grandpa and Uncle Mark.  Scotty was able to meet his great grandpa and great uncle for the first time.  This made my heart happy :)  Then it was a quick stop on campus in the drizzle for some necessary photos.  Scotty's first trip to ND!

After a bit of shopping at the bookstore with an overtired toddler and a screaming baby, we drove up to Michigan to stay at Mike and Mark's vacation home.  We were lucky enough to have Nana and Pops there as well!  We got two beach days in and some good family time before it was time to head back home. Phew!  I'm exhausted just writing about this vacation, but it was wonderful!  Now I just need a vacation to recover from our vacation ;)
