Time for another Chicago DIS meet. And as quite often in the past, the venue of choice was Gino's East Pizza. YUM!!! And as always, we had quite a few folks who were attending their first meet.
(I hope I got everybody's names correct; if not, let me know).
In this first picture, KimRaye is trying to teach Cruise04 (Chris) and hubby, Doctor P (Mike), the hand game; they both are puzzled; Kim is amazed they still dont get it. DonnaW, hubby, Mark, and BethanyFs hubby, Lou, listen intently to the conversation on the other side of the table, where we see the back of Sk8Leigh (Leigh) and Hersey (Janice)
Here, from the right, is Leigh, Janice, NiteOwl71 (Carrie), Carries DD and DISer 2sweetangels (Amy) and her DD, Hayley Ann, (only 3 months old and already at her first DIS meet) and Bethany at the end. Carries other DD, Stacey, and Big V (Scott) are both in the background.
Lady M (Marie), on the right, talking with Scott and his DW, Pam. Scott and Pam drove down from central Wisconsin for the meet.
Ginos gave us a small side room, adjacent to where we were, for the kids. It was really nice for them, they were able to do their art work, play around and just have some kid fun, without having to listen to a bunch of boring big person talk. Here are Kims DD, Kelly, Bethanys DS, Sam and Janices DS, Alex. You have fun guys???
Kelly again. I have seen Kelly grow up before my eyes, from when she was about 3 or so.
Again, Kelly and Sam, and then here we have Stephanie also, Slos (Sandy), DD. Sandy came up from northern Indiana for the meet.
And then Sam working on the crayons and Stephanie hamming it up.
Donna, Mark and Debloco (Deb), all big smiles for the camera. Amy and Hayley Ann in the foreground.
Here they are, Ginos, Chicago style pizza, YUM, YUM!!!!!! Anybody hungry???
Looks like everybody is digging in, enjoying their meals .Marie, Leigh, Janice talking to Sandy, Amy, Bethany, Mark getting some more and Pam on the far right.
Everybody still enjoying pizza, on the right, Deb, Mark, Donna, Mike, on the left, Amy and Hayley, Janice, Sandy, Leigh, Marie.
And now 2 posed pictures, after most of the meal was over, everybody holding up their gifts from Dorothy (DISshopkeeper) (and how nice that was, Dorothy), DIS antenna toppers and drink glass wrappers (all lime green of course) Mike, Chris, Kim, Donna, Mark, Deb, Lou (hidden), Sam, Bethany, Carrie with Hayley, and Marie.
Then on the other side of the tables, close to the table, Pam, Marie, Leigh, Carrie, Hayley, Amy with her other DD, Katelyn Marie, and then behind that group, Scott, Sandy and Janice.
And then a sure sign the meet is getting close to being over, and calling it a night, Hayley doing her ZZZZZZZs in grandma Carries lap.
Hope you enjoyed sharing the Chicago meet here as much as we did at the meet. If you have never been to a meet, try one out, bet youll like it.

Very nice Dan, I hope to be able to go some day!
That pizza looks yummy....one question about it though....does it have cheese on it or not? I can't tell! (blame it on the early hour and unsufficient amount of coffee to function 
) It's always nice to put faces to the names. I knew you'd have the pictures up soon...I've been looking for them. 
we take the Amtrak up from Bloomington. It would be a blast to go to one of these meets.
