day off #1


Andy is done working (for now)! His last day was Tuesday. Alli and Ruby didn't have school Wednesday, so we planned a full day of fun.
The best way to start a fun day: immunizations! Alli, Ruby, and June got their H1N1 vaccines. June also got the second flu shot. She is one tough cookie, she didn't make a peep and she got two shots! After immunizations, we went to my favorite restaurant for lunch. Simply It serves the most delicious, fresh Vietnamese food. The owner is so sweet. He always brings smoothies for the girls... the watermelon smoothies are fantastic! I should have taken the picture before the food was nearly gone. Everything I have ever tried there is delicious. I recommend it all!
After lunch, we headed to the zoo. We used up the carousel coupons I have been holding onto.
In the evening, we headed out to Rosemont for the main event of the day...
The Greatest Show on Earth!
It was a brisk evening, and we were so excited to get into the arena for the pre-show party.
The first performance was daddy-holding-two-girls-up-to-see-everything.
This is the real circus strong man.
Alli and Ruby got to try on real circus costumes.
We looked at the props up close.
The show was so fun. The performers and animals were great.
We were all entertained...
and exhausted by the end of the show. Alli and Ruby talked about their favorite parts of the show on the way home, but by the time we pulled in, we had three happy, sleeping girls.

I still can't believe you guys are gone. Church is going to be so weird tomorrow, and not in the good Logan Square kind of way!
