More fall

 We drove to McHenry last weekend to surprise Andrew on one final really late birthday thing.  He has done something related to trains every year of his life and we trying to keep up with that.  So, we took him to the Windmill Pancake Parlor, where they serve your food and beverages from a real train.  It’s pretty cool.  They had it all decorated in there for Halloween, too, so the kids really enjoyed the whole experience.  The food was good, too.  I felt bad because there was only one server for the whole restaurant, but he managed to do a really good job still.   We had gone there after a church Western Bonanza thing, but it was too early to eat an early dinner so we took the kids to a coffee shop with us, which was interesting and somewhat of a fail when Jessica and Hailey were playing on a really old typewriter that was just for decoration and the store worker came over and snatched it up and carried it away after mumbling that they were not allowed to touch it.  Then we went to a farm and walked around for a bit, but didn’t do any of their activities or anything.  It was $20 a person!!!!  It was a really neat place, but too expensive.  We have really celebrated fall this year so far!
