I think I'll have Thanksgiving for Halloween

Halloween is not my favorite holiday. Thanksgiving is. So, we decided to have an early Thanksgiving with our family in Illinois and Indiana. Look through our Recent Pictures on the right.

One short day in the emerald city...

Ok, so the only time Chicago is like the emerald city is St. Patricks Day when they color the river green, but Daniel and Amanda and I went to Chicago to see Wicked and eat real chicago pizza. We rode in on the Train from Lockport. We wanted to ride in from Joliet, but the parking lot was full.

This picture is Daniel and Amanda at the train station with the Sears tower behind them.


Just east of the Sears Tower is Wells Street.



Wicked, the Musical was an absolutely amazing production. We had great seats just off of center at the front of the first balcony.




Chicago stuffed pizza for dinner. Yummy!




All good things must come to an end. So we get back on the train and wave good-bye to the Sears tower and Chicago. We had a great time!

Holiday Newsletter

Happy Thanksgiving!

Our annual family newsletter will soon be printed and mailed to many of our friends and family. However, since you are a reader of the blog, you can get your own copy... in color right here.
With that out of the way, I can prepare for a wonderful turkey, stuffing, pies, and games for the rest of the weekend.
I think Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday...
