Upon landing we headed straight to Goshen. During our stay we caught up with lots of family and friends. We visited a local farm, went to Goshen's First Friday, played at the park, and attended the wedding of Seth's cousin, Chase (to Emily).
What made the trip extra interesting was a storm that came through the night before we arrived and left much of the city without power. We ended up being without power for four days. Luckily the water heater and stove were both gas and the unseasonably cool weather made it tolerable.
Here are some pictures of our visit to the local farm. The girls especially loved feeding the goats. Norah wasn't sure at first, but ended up doing it after watching Macy for a while.
We happened to catch Carol, Andrea and Ally for a quick visit one morning. This picture was taken out on a walk around Great Grandpa & Grandma's place.
We met up with Anne Gerber, Deana Landis and her kids - Annie, Mikie, Eli and Josie - at a park one morning.
Saturday we attended Chase and Emily's wedding, which was at a cottage on the lake. All of the Alderfers were in town for the wedding, so we were able to catch up with everyone.
After five days in Goshen we headed to Chicago to spend some time with Mimi and Papa. We took the train downtown to visit Millennium Park - plenty of activities to occupy a 3 and 5 year old. Otherwise we hung out at their place before heading back to Houston Tuesday morning.

The "Chicago Bean."
Of course the train ride is a fun experience in itself.
Overall we had a great trip!
