Thanksgiving day was beautiful! It was sunny and 60 degrees! We left on Wednesday to go up to Valparaiso, Indiana so we could celebrate Thanksgiving with grandpa. I got the turkey and stuffing in the oven and the pies were ready to go so we were off to the park! Grandpa has 2 really nice park close by. We went to the valplayso park first and then the butterfly park! We played hide and seek and slid down the big tube slides! It was so fun!
Once the girls got there we had to bring them to the park too!

This place is especially special to me~ This is the conservatory next to the Lincoln Park Zoo in Chicago. I used to go here every week when I was little. Ken and I would Jump off this rock all the time. We loved it. So this was such a treat to bring my kids here! The conservatory was gorgeous!
Me on my rock!
We totally lucked out and the zoo was decorated too! This was such a special day rolling down memory lane!
