when it rains...

Andy's family converged on Chicago last week.
Grandpa Utah had a conference in Chicago.  Grandma came along for some time with Alli and Ruby.  Betsy was hired to photograph the conference.  Her kids came too.  Jen flew in from New York... because she is awesome like that.

Alli, Ruby, and June enjoyed some quality time with their cousins Lucas and Lily.  Lily is two months older than June, but apparently she eats her Wheaties (see photos below).

We had some hot weather.  We went to the park in shorts and t-shirts.  (Freedom!)  Alli convinced Grandma and Grandpa that ice cream was mandatory.  (Not hard for her to do.)

Grandma and Grandpa picked Alli up from school.  They were heading to the park where everyone else was playing.  Alli said something like this to them, "Let's just keep walking past the park to Dairy Queen, just me and you."  Grandpa and Grandma were kind enough to gather us all before going to DQ.

We took all of those Nicolls to the zoo. 
It got chilly (the zoo is often ten degrees cooler because it is right on the lake), so we got creative.  Ruby tucked her arms inside her shirt... and that is a onesie she is wearing on her head.

Lucas liked seeing all of the animals.

Were they texting each other?

No, but they like their Blackberries.
