The calm before the croupy storm:

Romy was up with the croup all Saturday night.  We gave her a dose of steriods and went home early in the morning.

Beachwalk Friday

We arrived at Beachwalk at 6pm Friday night.  We stayed in the Pink Palace which backs right into Lake Kai.  Seeing the lake through all the windows on the back of the house really made it feel like we were on vacation.  It was big, beautiful, and beachy.  Best of all, it had everything we needed:  beach wagon, beach toys, legos, kids books, bedrails, dvds, and a kayak.  We didn't even need to bring sippy cups.  Here's a view of the great room:

Here's a view to the side out of our back screened porch:

The kids went with Baba to the big playground while mommy made dinner.  Then we all headed out to watch the sunset.  If you look at the central horizon you can see Chicago:

 The surf was huge!

By the way, Mommy started to blog about last year's trip but never finished it.  You can see it Here.
