We Lead A Busy Life

     Last weekend, my step-brother Casey was in the national water ski tournament in Illinois.  We left at 5:30 AM and drove over to watch him ski.  Since it was in Illinois and so close to Keaton, he came down to watch too and surprised everyone.  Casey won 3rd place and the rest of us had so much fun watching.  Colt got to play with Bennett and Elle and we got to catch up with everyone.  After it was over, Justin, Colt and I decided to drive up to Chicago and have lunch with Keaton.  Yea- we are random.  But it was so much fun!  We went to Lou Malnati's for pizza and it was GREAT!  It was so good to get to spend some time with Keaton before he leaves for Philly.  Yea- he left his job at the hotel and decided to start free-lance producing and directing.  His first gig is as an assistant directing and producing a play in Philly.  We are hoping to go out and see him next month.

   Last night we decided to go to the State Fair wtih our friends Renee and Jared.  It was Colt's first time to the fair.  We walked around to get food- the best part of the fair, and it started POURING rain!  The wind was so crazy it picked up the umbrellas over tables and threw them around like it was nothing.  Luckily, it didn't last long and once it was over, it was a really nice night.  Our clothes were just wet for a little while.  Colt got to meet a cow, a horse and billy goats.  He really wasn't sure what to think about the cow.  He just stared at it for a long time.  And when we turned around., the cow sneezed on us.  Colt actually reached out to touch the horse, but being the over-protective, hospital working freak that I am, I wouldn't let him.  And then I proceeded to sanitize his hands several times.  But he seemed to really like the entire night.
