Adventures with Auntie Mel!





























This weekend, Danielle and I spent the weekend with Maeta, Zofie and Linus (my nieces and nephew) while my brother, Matthew and his wife, Amy, went to run a race in Austin, TX. It was a great weekend away for them and a wonderful weekend for the 5 of us back in Chicago!

We ventured out to the Museum of Science and Industry which provided a lot of entertainment for us, including: Idea Factory time, finding out our support network, realizing how many blood vessels we have in our bodies, creating an advertisement about water, launching a rocket, trains, trains and more trains, and getting our pictures taken in a photo booth! Cool!

We also had Slumber Party 2011 which included movies, popcorn, and decorating pillowcases. Very fun and everyone's creativity exploded on their pillowcases. Linus had trains and train tracks, Danielle had a beautiful face and moons, Maeta and Zofie will now visit outer space every night, and I drew a butterfly. These will be memorable pillowcases as this was the first slumber party Maeta and Zofie have been to. :)






We ended with a french toast breakfast, a little more Bugs Bunny cartoons, and making welcome home signs for mom and dad. It was a very busy and fun weekend!
