Xavier’s staying until Patty comes up this next weekend. They boys had a great time Saturday burning off some steam running laps in the basement of the old house (still for sale if anyone’s interested), the mall and finally exploring the Elgin Public Museum. After that Chris and I went to the SCCA Chicago Solo awards banquet. I picked up my 9th place trophy (Wahoo!) and some Hoosier Tire door prize SWAG which the kids put to good use this morning. Some commented photos below.


Boy’s are happy to get out of the car Friday night.


Run run run run run run run run run run run run run … okay, we’re ready to go to the mall now!


Scary T-Rex head!!! Roar! Xavier wasn’t pleased with the sound effects or the moving jawbone.


The museum is hands on and displays – a good mix keeping everyone pleased.


Xavier learned to swing for the first time (notice he’s not in a baby swing) and he started kicking his legs to make it work (anything to be just like Oskar.)


The awards were numerous!


It’s the Hoosier Tire Ghost! ~ Spooky ~


Oskar reading up on the Phantom Hourglass strategy

Of course the full resolution photos (these are all cell phone pics because I forgot my camera) are on flickr as well as a few more from Saturday and Sunday too!

It’s a cool museum for kids and I would highly recommend heading out there if you’ve got some and are in the area. The Pompeii exhibit was a little tough for the kids, but was interesting for us.

This is just a few of the photos I took today – I won’t overwhelm everyone with 100′s of photos.
