Chicago-Town

Things to know about the Midwest:
  1. It is GOSH DANG hot.  Humidity is no joke.
  2. You WILL eat a cheeseburger everyday.
  3. You will probably eat pizza everyday, too.
  4. If a baby sits at the head of the table, he will be called "The Godfather" by every passer-by.
  5. No one can read your sarcasm when you tell them you can hardly hear their accent.
  6. There are bugs in the trees that sound like screaming demons.  
  7. Corn on the cob is cheaper than, well... anything.
  8. Make sure you have plenty of sunscreen and bug spray in case you go outside for 5 seconds.
  9. You have to drive a lot and it's flat and it's boring.
  10. FROZEN. CUSTARD.
We are heading out the Midwest again to visit our family.  We always have a blast in the Midwest!  Last year it was over 110° and super muggy.  This year we expect it be a bit more mild - but still hotter and more humid that this Washingtonian is accustomed to.  

Here are some photos from last year...
Corn and flat land.






















4th of July cake balls - because cake pops are sometimes too hard to make.

We have a lot of nieces and nephews.  This is about half of them...plus Dan.


More flat land.
