Grammy's Birthday Part 2

After the birthday hoopla calmed down, my cousin Emily and my cousin Brad's girlfriend flew home to Virginia. We decided to split up. Summer had never been to downtown Chicago and so her and Grant went downtown while we went with Grammy to the Chicago Botanical Gardens Orchid Show.

Long story short, Grant and Summer got engaged while downtown.


I had the honor of being the first person to take their engagement picture:


of course Grant had to ruin it. Grant hung out in Summer and I's room for a while after it happened and texted and called everyone. This is the glamorous, romantic time you get to spend together after you get engaged:

That was pretty much our entire trip. We stopped in Chicago on the way home so Summer could go in the American Girl Store (she always wanted to when she was little). This place was crazy. They had a doll hospital with little hospital gowns, a little hairdresser shop with little swivel chairs and capes, and even a restaurant with special chairs for the dolls that clipped onto the table and the doll got her own plastic food to eat! Insane!


After about an hour of shopping we continued home. Until we arrived at this intersection. It was kinda in the ghetto, but I had to jump out and take a picture (however, I did photoshop out the street name under Grant Ave):


But how perfect is that? What's the chance?!
