Playing horsehoes with Gramma

Ethan and Emily spent a day with Gramma last week (Grampa was working).  After the kids made pancakes for breakfast, they wanted to go play horseshoes.  Ethan uses rubber horseshoes; gramma uses metal ones.  Ethan even got a ringer!  Later that day, we went to the movies and it turned out to be a fun day.

On the tall ship "Windy", a pirate ship out of Navy Pier.

A picture taken from the ship of Navy Pier. We almost convinced Emmit to go on the Ferris Wheel, but by the time the ship got back to the dock, the line was too long.
