The next leg of our trip was to the northern suburb of Chicago, Bloomindale. We met up with Kirk's parents, brother's family, and all of his aunts and uncles on his Mom's side. In total, there were 27 of us. On Friday night, we all went swimming and overtook the pool. The pool limit was 30! Not much room for anyone else. At one time, all of us were in the same hotel room eating dinner and exchanging gifts. It was a Residence Inn by Marriot, so there was space, but it was close quarters!
On Saturday, we went to the Shedd Aquarium. The kids had a lot of fun looking at the different fish, making crafts and watching the dolphin show underwater. It was very crowded, reminded me of China! We only stayed a couple hours since the kids were tired and ready to go swimming again.
On Sunday, we packed up again and left for Detroit. Elizabeth and Alex had a ball playing with their Wisconsin cousins.
