O is for ChicagO Fest

The weekend before last we headed to Chicago and Naperville for ChicagO Fest 2013.  It was originally just planned to be our trip north to meet our new nephew Aiden who was born on April 9 but it turned out that Keith's parents went too and we visited with Keith's Aunt and Uncle as well.  So it was dubbed as ChicagO Fest 2013 by Auntie Heather and Grandma and Grandma even made shirts!  We stayed with Jeff, Erica and Macy in Naperville.  Grandma and Grandpa stayed with Heather, Todd, Olivia and Aiden in Chicago and we all gathered at Uncle Joe's house on Saturday to eat pizza and hang out.

On Sunday we all went to the Brookfield zoo (nice and early to avoid the heat) and the kids especially had a blast running through the sprinklers there.  We ended the day hanging out in Jeff and Erica's backyard playing with their water table.  Our kids loved it so much that I went out and bought one for us the day after we got home!

Olivia and Colin were so cute holding hands at the zoo

You would think that they never argued!

We stripped the kids down and let them run through the sprinklers at the zoo

It's a Julia fish and a Colin fish!

Is that pool big enough for 3?

Macy and Colin loved running through that sprinkler

We had a great trip and loved getting to meet our newest addition to the family.  We're looking forward to seeing the Okrzesiks and Masons in Indiana at the end of this week for the 4th of July!
