We have done so many fun things this summer that I haven't had time to blog about. We've just been busy having fun I guess! Every night was a party this summer and it's really sad to see it come to an end... SO, instead of just skipping to the next part of our lives, I'm going to do a little post about some of our fun adventures.
At the end of June, Mom and Dad Purcell came out to visit us! It was such a blast eating good food, staying up late, watching every episode of Shark Tank with them because Matt and I love it so much, and going on adventures with them.

The museum really was incredible. I didn't get any pictures of my favorite parts, but I have to say that one of them was all the human bodies they had in the health section. The human body really is amazing! I was a little weirded out by the "pickled fetus" section though. I don't really know what else to call it, but they had fetus' at each week of development throughout a pregnancy in little cases filled with liquid. The first few weeks were cool, but as soon as it started to really resemble a baby it just made me sad. The entire museum was incredible though--best one I've ever been to! It was so informative and just amazing (have I said amazing enough? ;)).
Here is a picture of Dad with his favorite plane... I can't remember the story behind it, but I think it was a WWII plane?
We also saw this little chick hatch, which was super adorable. He couldn't even really stand up yet. :)
I also liked all the little town replicas they had.
This is the U-505. It's the only German submarine captured by the Navy in WWII. We went on a tour of the inside and it was SO cramped and hot in there. I can't imagine living down there with so many smelly men. Our tour guide was awesome and even made me jump a couple times.
After walking around we were exhausted so we went out for Chicago Style Pizza. It is SO good, but I can only eat it once a year or it will clog my arteries and I'll die.

More posts about the rest of our summer adventures--coming soon!

And Shark Tank is such a great show! Every time we watch it we decide that we need to invent something that Mr. Wonderful will want to get in on with us :) Love and really miss you guys!
