The giant slide!
The corn maze.
The milk.
Going down the slide!
The fun dinosaurs.
One of the greatest aspects of our trip: lots of time with my kids. I don't think I cooked one meal, or cleaned the kitchen. I just played, played, and played with them. It was so much fun!
GG loved going to the Corn Maze at Thanksgiving Point. She is such an active girl that the slides, jumping tramps, water, maze, and everything was just perfect for her.
Luke and Anakin had a great time with their cousins.
The weather was beautiful. Fall is usually the best season in Illinois. Summer is too hot, winter is too cold, spring mmmm is sometimes non-existence, but fall is usually perfect. Except this fall it has rained, and rained and rained. I so enjoyed the wonderful sun and clear skies of Utah. The kids had so much fun. My sister Anne came down to see us. She spoiled my kids, and it was so much fun to see her. It was like having the best dessert during a perfect meal.

I'm so glad you got to spend time just playing and enjoying family.
Thanksgiving Point is quite the place! Some of the friends I graduated from school with got to help design the original gardens. I wish I'd gotten to do a once-in-a-lifetime project like that!
Wow, you were here? I hope you missed the snow. So glad you had a grand time. Thanksgiving Point is the best.
Yes, it was a quick, quick trip. I didn't even get to see all my favorite Aunts let alone my favorite in-laws of my sister.
Cynthia, have you ever read Devil in the White City. The author spends a lot of time writing about Olmsted and the design of the gardens around the World's Fair in Chicago. Many of his creations are still in place--they are amazing.
I don't know who had the most fun, those who went to Thanksgiving Point, or those who stayed home in the thick of Wedding Cake! Some of the Grandchildren wanted to go, and since we have a membership that allows grandchildren free-except for special events--this was the perfect opportunity. It is great to see the cousins playing together.
Hope to see you next time. Glad you made it home safely.
What fun Fall memories. :)
