Vacation!

A few weeks ago Amy came to Louisville for a visit. She and Lila have a lot in common, what with enjoying meals around Louisville and all.
We went to lunch at The Cafe', and our friend Melissa came along as well. I'm horrible about getting pics of fun times like this, so I was really glad I thought to take these!
Somebody (erm...probably me) decided it was a good idea to give Miss Lila a chocolate chip cookie after her lunch. It took three people to clean her up after the melty chocolate mess was done!!

Jump forward to THIS week. Mom and Dad came to town to pick up Lila for a visit in Mayfield. Clay and I are on vacation and were heading to Chicago. We decided Lila Jane would probably have more fun with Mim and Pop, so they came and got her so she could stay with them a few days. Since they were just coming up for the night, Grandmama and Grandaddie decided to come along for the ride! It was perfect timing, as it allowed us all to gather for a meal to celebrate Grandad's 80th Birthday! Happy Birthday, Grandaddie!!
It was SO difficult to find anyone to love on poor Lila, but we managed to pass her around the table enough that it wasn't TOO much of a burden on anyone. HA!!


I got a good pic of her with Andy, but missed getting one with Aunt Carrie Beth! We'll have to do that soon!When we arrived, Lila was wearing her big brown bow that made her look like Minnie Mouse. It didn't last long, though. They rarely do. As soon as she realizes they are there, she yanks them out and starts chewing on them. I really think she thinks I just put them there as a toy for her!!

Clay and I are in Chicago now, staying with Amy. THANK YOU Amy, for putting up with us! She even gave up her bed for us! Now THAT's a friend!

This pic is of us before we went to dinner last night. Chicago has good food, ya'll. And lots of it. And I think we've already managed to make a good dent in it all!
We were driving around today looking for something to get into because our yardsaling plans got rained out. Stacy happened to text message me saying she had seen on tv that they were shooting a movie in downtown Chicago, and that we should check it out. Well...due to this little movie issue, streets were closed and traffic was a MESS. We didn't stay downtown long, but we did get close enough to the action for me to lean out the window and get this shot as we drove through the intersection. In the far distance, they have one of the big bridges pulled up with a couple vehicles sitting on it. Not so exciting, but at least we can say we were a "part" of the next Transformers movie!

Tomorrow we'll be heading out for MORE food and the Museum of Natural History. We hope to meet Sue, the t-rex fossil that has lived there for ten years!

While we've been gone, Miss Lila has been up to her usual antics.
Eating...
Sleeping...
And keeping Mim and Pop thoroughly entertained!!!
