Chicago Marathon, Here We Come!! Day One

Chi town here we come, for the big race!  We're super excited!!  Starting out the trip flying first class, always nice!

Ahh, fancy cocktails!

How nice to get a personalized greeting, glad Chicago is glad to see us!

Delta managed to loose one of our suitcases, but clearly when you fly first class they make an effort to find it on the quick.  Met Nana and Aunt Sue at the airport, and went out for yummy Chicago pizza!  Then off to our beautiful hotel, the historic Palmer House.  It was once the biggest hotel in the world, but we picked it because it is only a mile from the finish line!

Now THAT'S a Lobby

 Thankfully, our suitcase arrived in time for us to put on proper clothing for dinner, we dont's want to look like hicks in the big city!  What a lovely time we had at the Chicago Shakespeare Theater, we saw "Ride the Cyclone", an excellent production!

Can't miss that sign!

Dinner at Riva at Navy Pier, then back to the hotel for a good nights sleep, Expo tomorrow!!

The Newest Waters!

Meet River (name inspired by Firefly, not water related, thank you very much)

Hi!

 

 

 

We rescued River from Lotsa Love Pet Rescue at Petsmart.  She is a 2 year old Chihuahua, and super cute!  Brooks seems to enjoy having a new lady friend, its tiny dog land here at Casa de Waters now!!

Puppy Pals

Attack Raccoon!!

Holy crap, Adam was attacked by a raccoon in our driveway!  He took Brooks out last night, and a GIANT monster raccoon attacked him!  After a 2 hour stint in the hospital, and a tetanus and rabies shot, he is good to go, but good grief, a raccoon?!

Educating Brooks

Brooks and Seth started Puppy Classes, and they are doing a bang up job!  Miss. Whitney is a GREAT teacher, and now Brooks is super excited to go to Petsmart!  Seth and Brooks are a great team!

Hello Fourth Grade!
