Friday the kids had "NO" school so Heath took the day off and we went to
the Museum of Science and Industry. It was Super Fun. We even ran into our friends.
The kids all got to participate in some taste testing.
The Museum closed at 4:00...
As we left the parking garage we quickly saw a Major Snow Storm was Brewing!
We knew our journey home was going to be slow... just didn't know How SLOW!
I was amazed that people were lining up to cash checks even with this huge storm... The store was PACKED with the line going out the door.
Our Normal 45 min drive home turned into a WHOPPING 5 HOURS
The Freeways were Slammed... Several times we were completely stopped for 20 minutes at a time. Heath had enough of that and began taking the side roads which moved a lil quicker..
I learned a good lesson.. I need to be more prepared with treats and water in my car..
You get hungry after being in the car for 5 hrs. It was Rough! Thank Heavens my car was full of gas and we had the few treats I had brought.
We watched several people run out of gas along the journey.
I was a wreck the whole 5 hrs.. Good thing Heath was driving!
We Listened to the radio.. talk radio.. our cd's.. we sang Primary songs.. told Jokes.. played the quiet game.. Anything to help buy some time.
Oh were we Ever Happy to be HOME... It's Never Look so Good!

We were SO excited to see you! Sorry it was such a miserable drive home!
I know for a fact that you had the goods in your purse. You always do. That will make a Chicago memory that will last forever. We would have been playing the quite game for the full 5 hours in our car:) I hate scary roads!
