Just Another Birthday ... another 27th Birthday...

Missy celebrated her "27th" birthday (again) this year. Some friends from back home came to Chicago to celebrate with us and our more local friends. We went to dinner, played Rock Band, did some sightseeing, and just had a relaxing time! 

Crocs AVP Tour

Mid-July we had the chance to go to the AVP tournament! It was held at Oak Street Beach this year. Our friend, Kelly, was able to come visit us and go to the tournament with us. It was awesome. We never thought that we would be that close to eight olympians! I put a couple clips up on yotube.

Taste Of Chicago and Hershey's

After the Fourth of July, we all went to the Taste of Chicago. We checked out the Bean on the way. Once at the festival, we checked out a lot of the booths, and tried some good food. They had Wii's set up so you could try Wii Fit. Afterwards, we went to the Hershey store. Mathew and Emma were factory workers and got buckets of candy. We then took the trolley back to our place. 

Fourth of July

We came back from Minnesota in time for the Fourth of July. Missy's brother and family were able to come this way as well so we were able to celebrate the holiday with them. We watched the fireworks from the parking lot of where we ate dinner. We were so close to where they were letting them off that we could feel each one!

Ingersoll Mini-Reunion

While in Duluth there was a mini-reunion at Nathan's parents house. It was the day that we left to head back to Chicago so we didn't get to visit as long as we would have liked but it was nice to see everyone and visit for the time that we had.
