Memorial Day Weekend

Mom and Dad Corzine flew in from Rhode Island for the holiday weekend. It was a much anticipated visit and we had such a great time while they were here.

On Saturday we slathered on the sunscreen, loaded up Levi’s wagon, and headed out to Jiggle Jam, a children’s music festival held at Crown Center. It was a big hit. On Sunday we went to church together then did some shopping. Nana and Papa spoiled us all with piles of new summer clothes. The highlight of Monday was lunch at Fritz’s Railroad Restaurant (a.k.a “The Train Restaurant”). Levi was enthralled by the trains and didn’t sit down at all during lunch. He stood in the booth next to his Papa, busily looking around for the next train. He sure had a lot to say about them. A sample of one of his monologues: “Papa, Bloo da ree theed yahdahmah CHOO CHOO jay ooo ve da poko TRAIN CHOO CHOO CHOO!!” He was so distracted that he hardly ate anything for lunch. He did manage to eat one onion ring. Correction, he managed to eat the batter off of one onion ring. After he ate the outside he handed the ‘naked’ onion to his Papa. Levi was confused as to why Papa didn't want the rest of it.

We feel so blessed to have had this time together with family. Levi has been adding many more words to his vocabulary and now “Nana” and “Papa” are among them. Thanks again, Mom and Dad, for coming all the way out here to see us and for all of the treats!
