Brother and Sister Love

Wednesday Meg had her first full day of school. She loved it. Its nice that 2 of her friends from Little People's are in her class.

Sunday we took the train downtown. We saw the mag mile, millenium park, and jazz fest. We spent the night at the Hiltion Towers. The scariest part of the trip was when Meg got her foot stuck in an escalator at Nordstroms. Mom pulled Meg from the escalator to find that her croc had been cut in half. Luckily her foot was ok, we were pretty worried.

Monday we came home after swimming in the hotel pool and doing breakfast at Orange. That afternoon we went to a little party with some of Meg's friends. Have a great week everyone!!!
