After the big breakfast, we went back to Jack and Ila's for a while. They live in a lovely condo overlooking a golf course. Leaving Mema and Papa to chat, Mike and I went back to the hotel. Rhonda came over to have some girl-talk with Mike and I went back to Jack & Ila's. Mellysa (Jack & Ila's daughter Pam's younger daughter) and her husband, Mike, arrived with their two kids: Jack, almost 4, and Cassie, 18 months. Shortly thereafter, Mellysa's older sister Carly and her husband, Brian, arrived with her gang of 4 kids: Joey, 10; Nichole, 8; Sarah, 6; and Andrew, 4. After a period of cheerful chaos, we feasted on authentic Chicago pizza. OMG!!!! It was from Lou Malnati's, which ships pizza on dry ice nationwide, and was incredibly good, both the thin crust and the deep dish. The young people eventually left and us oldsters sat around for a while, then trundled back to the hotel. Tomorrow we are off to Oshkosh to visit with Gordon and his family.
