Mimi and Papa in Chicago

Mimi and Papa came to Chicago for a week to visit us.  We made our annual trip to Goebbert's Pumpkin Patch and had lots of fun.  The boys loved seeing the animals, jumping on the big pillow, riding the camel and donkeys and picking out snacks.  One night the adults went out to dinner and had a drink at a new bar in the neighborhood.  We went to dinner at Uncle Julio's for Mexican food to celebrate Mimi's birthday (and Ethan's 22nd birthday) and had fun hitting the chocolate piñata for dessert.  It was so nice to spend the week with Mimi and Papa.  We were sad to see them leave, but we know we will see them again soon.  The boys were not on their best behavior this week, but that's not uncommon with two high energy boys who are two years apart in age.  Some kids are calm, go with the flow and like to please others, but then there are kids that like to test boundaries, show annoying strength, have high energy and do not quit...those kids will turn into the CEOs...they show their strength and drive their parents crazy, but this will turn into a good thing as much as it seems as a bad thing now.  Hopefully they will be on their best behavior

next time.  hahahaha
