We have been enjoying a terrific fall break. The gir’s Nonnie came and we have had so many adventures. We went to the city this weekend and enjoyed seeing the new Lurie Children’s Memorial Hospital. Any place with Whales hanging from the ceiling and anemones in the lobby is pretty awesome!
When we go to the hospital and there isn’t a doctor involved, it’s a good day! The new hospital is across from a very cool fire station and a very fun park!
After visiting a friend in the hospital (who is doing great, we are happy to report), we went to see a very fun concert! Elizabeth Mitchell is one of the girl’s favorite singers! She was so excited to meet “Miss Elizabeth” and her daughter Storey. The concert was at the Old Town School of Folk Music in a small auditorium. We snuggled in and enjoyed all of our favorites like “Little Bird”
Elizabeth Mitchell, “Little Bird”
At some point, our “very shy” girl (ha!) ran down to the stage and set up at Elizabeth Mitchell’s feet.
Before we knew it, she volunteered to lead the train while they sang “Mystery Train”. When the girl’s daddy went down to “help”, “Miss Elizabeth” announced that he was “the coolest adult at the concert!” We think so too!
(sorry for the poor picture quality…very low light, and no flash!)
After the concert, we got to meet “Miss Elizabeth”, Storey, and Penny.
Then the girl put on a concert of her own!
Fall break was a terrific “break”! I’ll update you on the girl’s medical situation tomorrow!
