Girl's Weekend in Illinois

Ali and Vance moved to Illinois for Medical School in August and we miss them a bunch. Mom, Sophie and I decided to go out to see them at the end of August before Sophie turned 2 (so she could still fly free). We had a great time playing with Ali and seeing Vance when he wasn't studying. We played in Chicago and went to the Shedd Aquarium, walked all over downtown, went to H&M and had lunch with our dear cousin, Mimi. We met up with my good friend, Katie and played at a Children's Museum with our kids. We also had fun exploring Champaign with Ali and seeing their new place.

Sophie was a great traveler we had lots of fun together, as always.

Vance and Sophers

Katie has been a dear friend since our Freshman year in the dorms at BYU and it was so fun to see her and her cute kids. She is the amazing mother of twins and it was so fun to see our kids together. Thanks for driving to see us and playing with us, Katie!

Ready for a day of playing

We had a great time in Illinois. We will miss you Ali and Vance!

I love that picture of Sophie giving you a hug! SO cute! I am so glad you have two great excuses to come to Illinois now!

What a fun trip! I haven't been to Chicago, but my family talks about it all the time since we lived there for 9 years. It was nice seeing you Saturday and I really look forward to getting together soon (it really will happen!)

Looks like tons of fun! I can't believe we just missed you there! What if we would have seen each other at Millenium Park or something? That would have been awesome. :)
