The Magnificent Mile

I was off work last Friday and Saturday and decided to take a trip to Chicago!
I've never been before, and thought this was as good of a time as any. We drove down at 6am Friday, got there at lunch time, walked around a bunch and saw everything! I went to the Navy Pier, which has almost nothing to do with the Navy anymore, but it was a cool pier.



I saw a bunch of multi-level department stores and amazing clothing stores!
Like Macy's... Heaven :)


Saw a lot of tall buildings, which never look as cool in pictures as they do in person..


We walked Michigan Avenue a lot. The Magnificent Mile was full of city people that I found fascinating.


We went past Wrigley field, we went to the Navy Pier... I'm pretty sure if Ben were there he'd pass on anything 'Navy' related ;) Just kidding.


We also ate some supah good food! Yumm.. Chicago style pizza!

I could definitely live in the city if I had to, I imagine it takes quite a bit to adapt haha.

Still loyal to St. Charles,

Where the quarterback dates the homecoming queen
The truck's a ford and the tractor's green
And Amazing Grace is what we sing
Well there's a county fair every fall
And your friends are there no matter when you call
Yeah It may not sound like much but it's
Where I'm from

5 days + 176 Junior highers

5 days of swimming, games, and learning about the Lord with a lot of fun people. Last week I went to Lake Williamson for JH church camp and it was amazing! I already want to go again!


My cabin of girls! I LOVED them :)
Lacey, Madelyn, Clara, Ragene, and Megan!





The girls I led with, minus a few.

We played on an obstacle course, played human foosball and polish kickball, tons of dodgeball and wallyball, as well as Ninja everywhere we went. We ate lots of good food! We swam in the lake everyday and blobbed a lot! Camp is the best. I haven't gone to bed earlier than midnight or woken up later than 8:00am in 8 days, though, so I am exhausted to say the least. Totally worth it.

I am very blessed with the Calvary family I have and realizing how much I should appreciate and take advantage of that more. I'm 10x more excited for the rest of the summer after going to camp.

Maybe I should unpack now,
