Sunday we drove to Illinois and spent a night with friends we knew in Harlingen. They have added two boys to their family.
Monday we drove to Wheaton to visit a missionary family who is also on furlough. The Hawthornes are missionaries in Bolivia and in 2004 we stayed a month with them in their small rural village. We were also able to visit with the Knudson’s who we also met on that trip. Monday afternoon we went to downtown Chicago and rode up (on the fastest elevator in the world) the Willis (Sears) Tower. There’s a 5 foot wide SkyDeck (widows on all 5 sides) that sticks out of the tower and allows you to step out of the building for a breath-taking, heart-stopping view straight down! I was surprised that Micah would even get close to it because he sometimes gets scared crossing bridges when he can look down and see the water. He loved laying belly-down on the floor and looking down!
