Epic Trip to Chicago
Here are the pictures, as promised, from our Chicago weekend. A very special thanks to the Hunt and Glynn families for meeting us at Two Toots! Wish we could have spent more time visiting than we did.
On to the pictures!
- The perfect spot to watch the air show (in the shade)
- Libby and Henry goofing off
- Cooper's reaction every time he sees or hears a plane in the sky
- Libby approves of the pilot's acrobatic skills
- Watching the air show – those planes were LOUD!
- We were caught in a rainstorm, so all of us ducked into the lobby of the Rain Forest Cafe for a spell
- Shannon, Libby, Henry, and Emily enjoying walking in the city next to the "L"
- Trying to take a family picture in the reflection of the "bean"
- Love this picture – reminds me of that post-WWII picture in Times Square
- Shannon and Cooper in front of the "Bean" (he was in a better mood than he looks in this picture)
- Cooper in a reflecting pool at Millenium park
- Henry and Libby fascinated by the inside of the 'bean'
- Tim and Henry on our big train ride out to the suburbs
- The Beckman boys on a train
- The kids enjoying the smooth train ride
- Libby and Cooper riding a pony
- Cooper, Libby, Henry, and Sam in front of Two Toots!
- Getting the "wiggles" out before the long car ride home. Thanks Hunt family!
Air Show Pics are Coming…
For now, here's one of Libby watching the planes zoom by. She was impressed:
Make sure to check out our friend's pictures of this air show weekend, 'cause they are more on-the-ball than I am.
The Cousins
Annual picture of all the cousins:
Each year since 2007 we have taken the same picture with all the cousins. It's amazing to watch the group (and individuals) grow:
- 2011: Calvin, Micah, Asher, Sam, Emma, Kaia, Cooper, Libby
- 2010:Calvin, Micah, Asher, Sam, Emma, Kaia, Libby
- 2009: Calvin, Micah, Sam, Emma, Kaia, Libby
- 2008: Calvin, Micah, Sam, Emma, Libby
- 2007: Calvin, Micah, Sam, Emma, Libby
East Coast Trip: Hiking Around the Cabin
Our family of four took a hike around the woods near the cabin. Lots of pine trees, small wildflowers, and blueberries:
- Cooper and me departing for the hike
- Libby found a sign for one of our neighbours
- The long gravel road we walked along
- An excellent self-taken family portrait
- Libby took this picture of all our shoes (except Cooper's)
- Into the woods! We made sure to clap to scare away bears.
- Emerging from the woods – Cooper was such a trooper
- Libby was tired by the end, so Shannon gave her a piggy back ride
East Coast Trip: Golfing
We had our annual early morning Maine golf day (2010, 2009). It was foggy and fun:
- It was very foggy for the first two hours of play
- Usually you can see the ocean and an island, but it was all fog
- Dan and Will practicing their swings
- Dan, Will, Jack, Tim, and Me
