40th anniversary

We celebrated my parents 40th anniversary this past weekend. 

While we were all together last Christmas, my mom asked us to keep the day open.  That was all the information she would give.  My parents like surprises, you see. 

 We all speculated....taking the train downtown to a show, a Cubs game, a waterpark.

As the day drew closer, we were instructed to be to their house by 11am, wearing dress clothes- no tank tops or flip flops.  That ruled out the Cubs game :)

  We all arrived, and at noon a stretch hummer limo pulled up to their driveway.

 

The kids thoroughly enjoyed the limo ride, and all of it's ammenties.  The laser lights were played with by everyone under the age of 9, the window by the driver went up and down no less than 38 times, every seat was tested out,  and all of the pop consumed :)

The limo dropped us off downtown at Navy Pier.  We followed my parents down the boardwalk and boarded the Oddesy for a delightful 3 course lunch cruise. 

After the cruise, we rode the ferris wheel, and walked around Navy Pier until our limo picked us back up again.

It was a great time.  Thank you mom and dad!  Happy Anniversary.
