The Chicagao Museum

Ashlin got tickets for the Chicago Field Museum and invited Jacob to spend the weekend in Chicago. Jacob was so excited to see Aunt Ashy and Uncle Matt. He was also excited to see Gizmo, Ashlin's dog. Tom and Carol also went and they had a great weekend. Jacob loved seeing Sue the T-Rex and the mummies. Ashlin's area got 14 inches of rain which made for an uncomfortable trip home from the museum. And the surrounding areas got 19 + inches, and these areas were being evacuated. Adding to this wonderful experience Tom got a flat tire on the Suburban and had to change it in the rain. Tom and Matt were on their bellies changing a tire while Jacob was wanting to help. Needless to say everyone was soaked head to toe, and through all of this Jacob thanked Ashlin for letting him come and stay the night. When Jacob got home he told me all about Ashlin's "beautiful house", and that Ashlin made him breakfast. He had a great time!
