Wheaton College

Last weekend we headed out to Wheaton College, and it brought back some really fun memories for me! My parents were supposed to be in town and Micah had been talking FOR.EV.ER about going to a football game with Papa C, but unfortunately 1/3 of the way in the trip I got a call that my dad was sick. After accepting what they had been denying for 3 hours, they turned around and drove back home. It turned out to be a smart move, as my dad had a 101 degree fever and was not doing well, but we were definitely all sad to not spend time with them, as the boys haven't seen them since end of July! Oh well, such is life, and thankfully they'll be back up in a couple of weeks for Gemma's dedication.

We decided to try and go to the football game regardless, but to not impact nap times too much. Well, that turned in to a later afternoon that we planned and ended up getting to the football game with 40 seconds left on the clock in the 4th quarter. Oops! Oh well :) The boys had a great time going on the field afterwards and then we headed in to the Todd Beamer Center and warmed up with some hot chocolate. After that we toured the campus for a bit, even grabbing a picture with me and the kiddos by the infamous "Wheaton College" sign, and then back to the car to head to dinner. It was a fun afternoon and brought back lots of memories of my time there 16 years ago. WHOA. Even just writing that makes me realize how old I've become. Wow.
