Another two hour drive took us to a camping spot just off the beach at Illinois Beach State Park. We live near a lake and beach, but this one is much bigger!
In response to the rain, we headed to the Kohl Children's Museum. It is geared for kids under the age of eight.
Oscar attended most of the wedding activities including the rehearsal dinner, most of the wedding, and the early part of the reception dinner. For his parents to let loose a little at the reception, Oscar had a baby sitter at our hotel. We introduced him to her at the reception then headed over to our hotel together. After we left, Oscar cried for five minutes. He then went into the bedroom. When the sitter tried to check on him he tried crawling under the bed. She chose to let him mellow out. He chose to fall asleep at a very early hour on the floor. At which point she put him on the bed where he slept for 12 hours.
The rest of vacation was eating too much at Mike's sister house. Very relaxing and fun for Oscar to play with other kids.
Mike was pleased that Oscar chose to sing a blues song while we traveled home through northwestern IN into Chicago. We also assume he was somewhat lamenting the end of his vacation.
In case you can't understand the lyrics...Rain is falling down (repeat for 15 minutes or so)
