CHICAGO FUN!

WE WENT LAST WEEKEND TO SEE JAKE AND SARAH FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE THEY MOVED IN AUGUST. REBEKAH AND ELIZABETH COULD HARDLY WAIT TO GET THERE! WHEN REBEKAH SAW SARAH WALKING DOWN THE SIDEWALK TO OUR VAN SHE JUST BURST INTO TEARS! SHE ESPECIALLY HAS MISSED SARAH TERRIBLY. WE HAD SUCH A GREAT TIME THERE. FRIDAY NGHT WE HAD PIZZA AND THEN THE GIRLS GOT TO STAY WITH SARAH AND JAKE...THAT WAS SO MUCH FUN FOR THEM! THEY REALLY DIDN'T WANT TO EVEN LEAVE THEIR APARTMENT ON SATURDAY! BUT AFTER A WONDERFUL BREAKFAST, THE FOUR OF US GIRLS WENT SHOPPING FOR THE DAY. WE WENT TO THE AMERICAN GIRL COMPANY STORE, THE HERSHEY CHOCOLATE FACTORY, AND A BIG LEGO STORE. THEN AFTER LOTS OF WALKING AROUND WE RODE THE TRAIN BACK TO THE APARTMENT FOR DINNER. JAKE AND PHILIP WALKED TO NAVY PIER AND HAD LUNCH AND THEN DID "BOY STUFF" ???? :) IT WAS SO MUCH FUN TO ACTUALLY "SEE" THEM AGAIN. CELL PHONE CALLS AND ICHATS ARE GREAT, BUT THERE IS NOTHING LIKE BEING RIGHT THERE WITH THEM!!!!
