First, we stopped by Chicago. There we visited my Grandma. Our Uncle Wally also came by for a quick visit while we were there.

We went miniature golfing at Par-King mini golf, which has some really neat holes. This one is a roller coaster-the ball goes up an elevator, and then around the roller coaster track.

Here we are, still minigolfing.

The last hole on the minigolf course is a roulette wheel. You can get a score of anywhere from 0-7. A 0 wins you a free game, which Dad and I both got!

We also spent some time playing board games, another family favorite. This game is called Power Grid, and you have to manage electric companies.

Here we are boarding my favorite ride, Drop Zone at King's Island.

You then go up 315 feet

And then you free fall until the last color zone on the pole! It's an awesome ride!!

Mom conquered her fear of heights and came up the observation tower just long enough for a few pictures!
