Illinois Getaway

For my birthday, Tony surprised me with a flight to Illinois for Grayson and I! It was perfectly timed during one of Tony's trips and I could not have been more thrilled to get to go see family and relax a little in Illinois.

I was a little nervous flying alone with Grayson for the first time (expect a Get Real post soon!), but it went mostly well and we had a great time!

Grayson got to ride the "tractor" with Papa

 

He was definitely never short on attention

 

 

We had a play date with our favorite Illinois buddies, Ellis and Olive

 

 

 

The best part was watching Grayson and his cousin, Koen, play together! It made my heart so happy to see them play and have fun and see Grayson look up to his big cousin!

 

We went to a park and splash pad one morning.

 

 

 

And we got to be there to celebrate Koen graduating Kindergarten!!

 

 

While celebrating, the boys made a fort... Grayson loves his cousin!

We had such a great time and our visits are never long enough... But we definitely missed daddy and were both wiped out!

And somehow we never seem to get a picture of Grayson with his Nana or Gigi on these trips!! Sorry moms, we'll have to make sure to get better at capturing moments with you too! Grayson did have lots of fun and love from his Nana and Gigi!

Be looking for the next few Get Real posts - I've accumulated quite a few from this trip! ;)
