Went to Sugar Grove

This weekend we went up to Sugar Grove to visit Shannon & Chad. This was our first visit to their place since they moved there. We left at 6pm Friday and got there about 11:30pm. We only stopped one time for a break, which with a 2yo, 4yo, & 6yo was impressive. They were a hour behind us so when the kids wanted to get up at 7am there it was 8am at home. Shannon is such a hostess. She had tons of food and drink especially for the kids, and bought a good Housekeeping magazine with Jon & Kate plus 8 on the cover for me and a Rolling Stone for Kevin. Also in the bathroom was a Dove gift set. She's so thoughtful! Saturday morning Shannon fixed a big breakfast and we hung out catching up. Kevin went to Chad's work to view the golf course. That afternoon we went out to lunch and to a Fall Festival in one of the shopping plaza's. The kids decorated mini pumpkins, had funny balloons made by a guy in stilts, & had laffy taffy apples. Then while the kids went back to the apartment to rest Shannon and I did a little shopping. Sat evening Kevin and Chad were invited to the hockey game by one of Chad's members at the course. So they went downtown and got pampered with food & penthouse suite to watch the game. Meanwhile Shannon & I took the kids to see High School Musical 3. The kids loved it of course, just like they love #1 & #2. After the kids went to bed Shannon & I did some political polls online and discussed the election. It's nice to be able to talk to someone about the election without starting a debate! The guys got back really late due to downtown Chicago traffic, what should have been 45min took them 2 hours. Sunday we lounged around in the morning. Kevin & Shannon rehearsed a song they're doing in a couple weeks then a quick trip Target before we left. On the way home we stopped in Terre Haute and ate with Kurt at Outback-yummy!! We were home by 8pm, the kids got bathed and went straight to bed. Kevin & I followed shortly! It was a tiring but VERY fun weekend!
