Chicago


This last week we had a chance to go and spend a couple of days with some friends in Chicago. We've missed them since they moved there so it was nice to see them. We didn't do any of the downtown Chicago things that you normally do when you go there. This was the main reason for going...

I got a ticket to go to the BMW Championship golf tournament at Cog Hill in Chicago with Brady Rhodes. I was going to go by myself but Carrie wanted to see her good friend Erin so the whole family went on the 5.5 hour drive. This tournament had the top 70 golfers of the PGA tour and there was quite a few that I wanted to see. I especially wanted to see Rickie Fowler. I'm kind of partial to him for obvious reasons! Here are a couple of pics I got of him from the Saturday round.


Just finished and walking off the 18th green.


Back on the driving range

Technically you weren't supposed to have any cameras. I had no idea about this rule so when they asked if we had any cameras when we got to the entrance there was no way I was going all the way back to the car just to drop it off. So I decided to snap a few pics at the end.


While Brady and I went to the golf tournament on Saturday Carrie and Erin took the kids out for some fun. Katelyn and Kylie were so excited to see Cailyn and Peyton. They went to a place that had some animals, which unfortunately they couldn't pet, a carousel, golf, and some other little things. They had a good time and we look forward to the next time we get to have fun with the Rhodes family.
Cailyn, Katelyn, and Kylie making their dads proud. Mason and Carson. On the way home we decided to go and stop by Lake Michigan. It was a little bit cold, rainy and windy so we didn't spend a lot of time there but it was neat to see how enormous this lake is.
