Awoke around 9ish to a deserted trailer - everyone had already gotten up and headed inside for showers and some food. Groggy, I slipped out of bed.. Er.. Out of the sleeping bag, and squeezed into the camping-sized shower.
After a quick breakfast we headed off to mass. I don't know what it is, maybe a break in the monotony of home masses all the time, but I always pay more attention when we go to mass here. It's always worth it, very good homily =)
The rest of the day was very chill, just a quick lunch of genuine, grandmother made food before we headed off to my auntie Rene's house for a family gathering =). Met up with my cousin, Chris, and caught up a bit. We (inevitably) ended up moving over to the xbox to jam a bit with rock band. And soon enough, both my parents AND grandparents joined in/took over hahah!! To anyone who hasn't seen their family playing something like this all together, I highly recommend - So funny!!
Driving to auntie Rene's House
Rock Band!!
Drew's Too Cool
And Mom's too Hard Core
But Were All Loving It =)
My grand uncle, who is a priest here in chicagoland, did the honors of saying grace before an outstanding feast of a dinner. After many laughs, embarrassing stories of crazy things my dad did "back when he was a kid,"and waay too much strawberry shortcake, back to the rock band we went!
Then, in true midwesten style, rain started pouring down. The streets turned into floods - you could hardly see 5 feet in front of you. Then, not 20 min later, we were outside taking family pictures in the bright sunshine. Welcome to the Midwest Wroblewskis, hahah.
Family Pic
As always, the visit was too short.. Just as soon as we were all warming up to one another, it was time to go =(
Back at grandma and grandpas house, heads were nodding, so we watched some news caught up on some TV and talkin, got our short internet fixes, then sleep came with ease =)
