Chicago Weekend!

The McNutts had a busy but very fun weekend in Chicago. The weekend started early on Thursday when Daddy and Molly headed to US Cellular Field to take in an afternoon White Sox game. Jeff and Viola Townsend also went to the game. Molly and Viola had a great time. I am not sure that they saw much baseball but loved it all the same!
Molly and Viola have had so much fun playing over the last few weeks in Ottawa. We were very sad to say goodbye to Viola Monday. The Townsend family is onto to a new chapter moving to Fort Collin Colorado. We will miss them very much.
Viola and Molly enjoyed lots of treats at the game. I think the suckers might have been their favorite. On Saturday Mommy, Daddy and Nanu and Papa went to see Jersey Boys in Chicago. It is a very upbeat musical about Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons. My mom especially enjoyed the show because all the music was the hit songs from her teenage years. She was rockin' and boppin' in her seat. Then on Sunday we took a family trip to Six Flags Great America. It was surprisingly a fun time. I had not been there since high school but it was so fun to see the kids riding all the same things I enjoyed as a kid.
Molly and her cousins Mia and Daniel Reinhardt on the Fruit Salad ride. They were crazy riders they rode all the rides they were tall enough for. Their collective favorite was a roller coaster, a kiddie one but it was really fast, even I was a little scared but they loved every second of it and rode many times in a row!
Wiggles World is a new attraction at Great America, and the Wiggles show was definitely the highlight for Molly. She danced and sang along with every show! Margot even got in on the ride action. She loved all the rides and was not happy when she sis not meet the 36 inch height requirement of some of the rides. I was amazed we took her on the log flume, my favorite as a kid and she loved it. Molly on the other hand was not so thrilled. She was crying at the end of the ride and I assumed it was because she was scared of the big drop at the end but she was actually very upset that her hair had gotten wet! She cracks me up, she is all girl!
