Here is a pic of me and the kids early in the morning before the WTTW PBS fun and run! We are heading into the city for a fun walk! We went last year and had a blast so we decided to go again! We are leaving Joey at home since it is a lot of long lines to meet characters and go down slides which he is too little for! Next year Joey will come with us!! We are meeing Nickie, the girls, her parents and her brother there! Can't wait! As the trip got going, we only made it to Ottawa before we had to stop for a bathroom break! children...I tell ya!

Jack and Juls meet word girl! Juls was a little scared at first so Mike had to go up there with her! The fun run! Jack, Juls and Haylie raced down the path! Go Go Go!

Jack lost his shoe; haylie tried to help him get it! Smiles all around! LOL

Time for a little water break!

such good friends! :)

Jack wouldnt smile so Haylie decided to help him! :)

and now we meet D.W.! Arthurs sort of annoying little sister who Jack always compares Julia to! LOL

yeah..I forgot who this one was! LOL

La Familia!

Curious George! Glad to see him still standing after last years fiasco! The weather was MUCH cooler this year, even chilly at times so thankfully George didnt get heat stroke this year! :)

Juls takes a ride on Mike's shoulders!

Jack's turn!

We had an amazing time!
