Over the weekend Caleb and I took our trip to Chicago to visit my sister, Jennifer. It's always fun for us to take a few days off and get some well deserved QT with her. She is a fantastic hostess and always has her little nephew's best interest at heart.
First, we went to a Gretchen Wilson concert on Friday night. Now I'm not an over-the-top fan of hers but she is a great entertainer that keeps her audience going. It was Caleb's first concert and even enjoyed it except for the fact that it kept on until well past 10:30 and believe it or not, he was exhausted and wouldn't leave my side. He actually fell asleep on the drive home, I know amazing right?!
Then on Saturday Jen took us shopping at a huge outlet mall. We tried to find Caleb a new pair of shoes without any success. Can you believe the NIKE outlet had no, none, zippo, shoes in his size!!!! Crazy right!?! He was so disappointed, he wanted a new pair of shocks, there's always Champaign :-) Then we stopped in Carter's, boy what a mistake. We all had a blast in there, even Caleb. Next time you see him and he acts like he's not ready for this baby or to even be a BIG brother he's fibbing. He had as much if not more fun in there shopping for Blueberry than I would have ever imagined. He kept saying to me, "We gotta get that!", "Ewe mom what about this", and so on the whole time we were there. I couldn't have been happier!
Later that evening my sis had gotten tickets to the Medieval Times show. Caleb was so excited. This was all about the knights, kings & queens, jousting, stunt horses, and of course eating your meal with no utensils!!! The meal was fantastic and huge! They served each person a bowl of soup, piece of garlic bread, HALF of a baked chicken, a big piece of BBQ rib, a half of a seasoned baked potato, and for desert a homemade apple turnover.....mmmmmmm! Needless to say we all a to go box to take home. This place was full of action for everyone, definitely more kiddie orientated though.
We rooted for the "Green Knight", and he was one tough mamajamma too. Until the end came and we found out that he kidnapped the prince and held him ransom. Of course he was slayed by a good knight and the Prince was saved to live happily ever after with his princess and the king could rest again.
Here is a couple of pix to share. Aren't our crowns AWESOME!!
