On Sunday, we were delighted to have Megan and Katie come to church with us. As this was my first Sunday at church after being released as Primary President, it was nice to have some company with me as I went to the "adult meetings."
After church, we decided to celebrate Megan's 9th birthday because we knew we wouldn't be home on her actual birthday (Monday.) Dave grilled/charred hamburgers and Katie made a delicious chocolate/Skor candy bar cake. After, Megan opened presents, the girls were all thrilled with the Flip camcorder.
On Memorial Day we all went downtown for a little sightseeing and to celebrate Megan's birthday. We started early because we were expecting crowds on a holiday, but to our delight the foot traffic every where we went was very light. Everyone must have been at home planning on family barbecues or something.
We started out at the Shedd Aquarium.
We saw all the exhibits, including the new Fantasea dolphin and whale show. Ashley even dared to touch a starfish.
The highlight may have been the body art. A very good artist painted a dolphin, a shark and a turtle on the girls' arms.
After the aquarium, we scrapped our plans for Millenium Park because there was a huge thunderstorm, so Katie and Megan went to Sears Tower to try out the ledge, while our family went across the street to hangout in Dave's office. The girls kept busy writing on the whiteboard, etc.
We then met up again for dinner at the Grand Lux Cafe. Yummy as always including the cheesecake and New Orleans beignets for dessert.
