We'd been there before with her when she was 2, but now 2 years later, it was like a different experience with her! It was fun to watch her get so excited identifying almost every animal by herself. She has recently started reading, too, so it was fun watching her discover new words and signs.

We told Rebekah that in Chicago, you often have to flag down your bus or it may not stop!
We stopped for some yummy ice cream and Italian ice on the way home!
We did lots of other things together like a Farmer's Market, antique sale, Red Robin, watched movies, and played many games like Sorry, Life, and Monopoly.
Here Bekah is enjoying her new idea for a dessert: a pumpkin biscuit with hot fudge sauce (??)... she liked it!
One night, we babysat our friends' four week old baby! He was precious and soo good.
Then on the last full day they were here, Adam and I had to work. When we got home, I was surprised by a birthday party that they had put on!!
There were balloons, streamers, pancakes, a card, a present, and a chocolate cake complete with 27 candles!! (All Rebekah's ideas!) And since it was over a month early, I was completely surprised!
Whew! We had to open the window after I blew out my candles! ...that's when you know you're getting old!!
And of course, what's a party without a little Guitar hero?!
Every night Rebekah (and I) ended each fun-packed day completely exhausted!
Thank you for coming guys!! And thank you for my party! You are welcome back anytime :)
