Chi-town!

On Saturday, our final destination was my Aunt Pam and Uncle John's house in Woodridge, Illinois. It was great to get to spend time with family who we do not get to see on a regular basis. Tyler had a wonderful time playing with their dogs, Heidi Rose and Watson. They made a wonderful dinner and we even got to feed the raccoons at dark. Although my cousin Adam could not be there, we were able to talk with him via Skype. He and his girlfriend are in St. Kitt's where Adam in finishing Vet School. I have not seen my cousins Jason or Adam since Frank and I got married-- 7 years ago! Tyler loved his cousin Jason and after such a fun night, Tyler fell right to sleep as soon as his head hit the pillow! Thanks to everyone in Woodridge for such a fun night! Maybe next time we won't be so pooped and we can all hang out for longer!


Fooling around on the couch. Who knew that after 3 hours of driving and 3 hours of flying that we would be so tired and want to sit?
Uncle John, Grandpa Perry, Tyler, and Grandma Perry (and Heidi Rose!).
Grandpa Perry bumming a lick of Tyler's dessert. What a lucky guy grandpa is!
An after dinner picture. Uncle John, Aunt Pan, Tyler, Jennifer, Grandma Perry, Grandpa Perry, Frank and cousin Jason.
At breakfast the next morning. We enjoyed a nice church service and the headed out to eat. Tyler was an angel at church and at breakfast. He was even an angel for the 3 hour trip we had ahead of us!

Looks like a fun time! Tyler looks like he's enjoying himself, too. Wow...what a lot of traveling, though. You guys are troopers!
P.S. Thanks for the pics of Heidi Rose - I'm a fan of pugs, myself.
