now THAT was fun
Our trip to Chicago was way fun! Especially since Pepaw has Guitar Hero for the Wii. Yeah, my dad really is THAT cool. LOL…
After much anticipation (I mean its all the kids talked about for the entire 7 hour drive!), on Saturday they got to whip out the Wii! Pepaw ROCKS!
Bub was rockin’ it pretty hardcore there, and even got an ENCORE request. WHOO-HOO!
and what’s a girl to do whilest awaiting her turn? Why ROCK OUT of course!
This girl DANCED the entire time it wasn’t her turn! Check out her flying HAIR! hahah!!
Finally her turn!
After deciding her hands were too small, and one little temper tantrum, the rest of the night went SMOOTH as BUTTER!
More whooping and hollaring, and dancing ensued!
Bub even made it to level 2 which pleased Pepaw, since he had never seen level 2! LOL..
Hey Pepaw, just so you know the kids were loving you the ENTIRE way home!
It was a gorgeous drive home! And we managed to make it in 6 hours, even WITH several pit stops!
I was really impressed with the rest area that is right on the Illinois/Indiana state line! The pet area was FANTASTIC!
Of course lots of “Are we there yet” went on, and when that stupid Rick Astley song came on the radio I thought me and the kids were going to laugh until we pee’d our pants. Of course Darrin didn’t get the joke…
Bub eventually fired up the ipod to block out “Mom’s music” *hmph! talk about making me feel old!*
thats ok, cuz Sis loves mom’s mu-zak. See… she even said so!
yet another “Are we there yet” moment. LOL! Look at that face. Just screams “Why I gotta be way back here man?!”
anyhoo, THAT was my trip to Chicago. Drove up on Fri. Grilled out and played a little Wii on Sat. Drove home on Sunday. Today, I’m still smiling and way loving my Dad. So are my kiddos. And my man-thang.
Am home now, and officially off Vacay. Like the new blog theme? The rest of the site will be up and running soon. Just a few bits to tweak.
All righty, off to squeeze in a game or 12 of Bejeweled on Facebook before bed. See if I cant get myself a little higher up on the stats list. Trying to figure out HOW 135k and I’m in 7th place! I really think I should de-friend some of these bejeweled playin wenches! Seriously! ROFLMAO!
Until next time-





OMG… that pic of your dog in the way back of the car… that is hilarious! Thanks for a good laugh!

Aw, I’m glad you all had such a good trip! I know your Dad was happy to see you come! Get all rested up and have a great Tuesday!
Wow, I almost thought I was in the wrong place! I like the new look
Looks like ya’ll had a wonderful time, the pics of your rockers are great, but the one of Sweets peeking over the back seat just cracks me up!
My son & grandkids LOVE Guitar Hero and Rock Band too! Great pics, looks like everyone and a great time! Sweetz is so cute!! The blog looks great!
Woohoo – Pepaw rocks!
Seriously though, glad you guys had a safe trip and a fabulous visit. Sweetz does look pretty pitiful peeking up from the back. Nadya saw her picture and said “Doggy Woof Woof” – and then Sweetz. Now she knows 5 doggie names. LOL
