Ormes come to Chicago!

Anne and Carson came to visit us this month!!! On October 11th Anne flew out to Chicago for a week and a half!! (Carson could only get work off for the weekend of the BYU game) We spent two full days in Chicago and the rest of our time around Evanston, working on projects in my apartment and just hanging out. 

We went running the day after Anne got here on a trail along Lake Michigan. 

Morgan is wearing a dress we wore when we were her age. (That's a trending theme with several of the clothes and toys Morgan has). This is the view from our apartment looking out towards Northwestern. 

Taking a Sunday afternoon nap - except someone wasn't exactly napping!!

On the celebrated architectural boat tour in downtown Chicago. 

At the Bean! It was probably the coolest piece of modern art I have ever seen. 

Morgan was sleeping while we were at The Bean.

Top of "Sears Tower", now the Willis Tower. We were standing on the glass extension of the building. I couldn't look down it was so scary!
Bath time with Auntie Anne after a LONG day in the city!!
This picture about sums up the exhausting adventure we had downtown. We wore this child out!

A few days later we went into the city and Westin joined us! We spent all day at the Art Institute of Chicago and got caught in the rain on our way back to the "El" station. 
On Saturday Westin and I drove to South Bend Indiana to watch the BYU v. Notre Dame football game with his cousins Emily, Deb and Amy. We saw a much more exciting game than we expected! Anne took the train a few days earlier and met up with Carson's family in Indiana. We drove Anne and Carson back with us to Evanston after the game. 

Sunday afternoon we walked to campus and stopped at this park along the way. It was SUPER windy as usual, but we couldn't resist documenting the beautiful Fall leaves.

SUPER MORGAN!!!

  3. That trip was so, so, so cool. Amazing that Anne was able to spend so much time with you three. I feel really lucky that we saw your place so soon after you arrived. Special memory, and hopefully we can repeat before graduation!
