lovely weekend

aside for the onslaught of oppressive humidity we had a great weekend.

Mine started early with a vacation day on Friday to visit the museum of science and industry down in Hyde Park. we had a great time and since the regular admission was free we bought tickets to see the Harry Potter exhibit and the U505 tour. I think the coolest thing was that it was the annual reunion for the men and their families that helped capture the sub. I am ever so grateful to those men who helped fight and protect us (not only during WW II but in all of the conflicts in which America has been involved.

Saturday we had the girls feis (pronounced fesh), which is an Irish dance competition. All three did really well. In the afternoon we went to the Brookfield zoo.

Sunday Erin and Brad and family got up early and left and Bill and I lounged around. it was really hot and humid and both of us took naps (so nice).

This week we clean up and get ready for our next set of visitors.

Have a good week!

Wow, I want to come see some of that stuff. Sounds fun! I think Provo could use some serious help in that regard.

Sounds like fun. Let's plan the next reunion there. :) (or maybe I should say the first reunion since we've been so stellar about stuff like that).
