 |
| Andy and Chelsea checking out the city |

| We meet these Elders and took them to lunch. The one by Rick is the son of one of his Peruvian converts who is now serving in Chicago. Great visit! |
 |
| Standing 107 stories up in the Sears tower with a spectacular view of the city. |
 |
| We stood on a glass floor which was kind of creepy since we could see all the way to the ground |

 |
| It would be great to attend a concert here sometime |
 |
| Enjoying the city bus tour with a funny tour guide |
 | |
| Our beautiful hotel "The Fairmont" we stayed on the 19th floor and had connecting rooms. It was very convenient to be downtown for two days. |
 |
| That says it all! |
 |
| A view of the beautiful campus at Notre Dame |
 |
| A great day for a football game! |

 |
| Unkie Grant was able to go with us to the game. We really enjoyed his company! |
 |
| 1st down Moses |
 |
| The administration building with the iconic golden dome |
 |
| The hustle and bustle of pre-game excitement! |
 |
| The grotto where people were lighting pre-game candles. Maybe we should have lit a candle for the BYU team since they lost that day. |
 |
| Our last morning together after attending church in Valparaiso, IN |
 |
| Goodbye to sweet little Charlie man |
 |

 |
| Jord and Jake checking out the Windy City |
 |
| We all enjoyed some traditional deep dish Chicago style pizza |
 |
| Pre-game majesty as the band escorts the team into the stadium. So many wonderful Notre Dame traditions! |
 |
| I got to tend Charlie while his parents attended the game. I think I got the better end of that deal. |
 | ||
At last! Attending a Notre Dame game!
|
 |
| Checking out their amazing campus... |
 |
| ...and of course the college football hall of fame. |

What a fun time you all had, and how great that you were feeling good for all the activities and goings on. I'm so jealous you and Rick are so far along on your state count! That's a goal of mine too. So glad you had a great time.
It looks so fun! I want to go to Chicago someday. I'm glad you felt good enough to go!
Thanks for the recap of a wonderful trip, Vonnie. I am so glad we got to go, and so happy for the great time we had.
