Every time we go to gurnee mills on our way back to home we stop by McDonald's playplace. Our little ones enjoy it a lot because it's very big and nice. We always get our kids m&m ice-cream and fries they hardly care for food there they care more to play at the playplace. Every time we are going to gurnee...we tell them where we are going and they ask us if we will take them to the playplace. It's so much fun seeing them that excited. And we enjoy there too. We eat french-fries and watch them.

Last summer we went with nephews/niece/and cousins. We all enjoyed it too much. we all wore swim suits under our regular outfit so no worry of changing there. We were glad we wore swim suits because we got wet easily there. The best thing about this park is that it's free in summer. It was on a hot summer day when we went, it was all packed. But still we enjoyed it a lot. We saw people bringing tons of kids there in big groups. Our littles ones enjoyed it a lot. After we came home in a week my niece asked saying when we are going there again. My little cousin asked that as a b-day gift saying for my next birthday can you please take me to that water park? I thought that means they really really liked it. We can't wait until this summer to go back to enjoy.

Trader Joes is the best place to shop at, especially for lots of organic/healthy food. This store is one of the popular stores in Illinois. Any time of the day you go you'll always see a parking lot filled with cars and people walking in and out of the trader joes. It's a very clean and nice environment store. Every time i go in there to get few things but when i come back i come back with tons of groceries. I go there every weekend. My mom sometimes comes with me too, she really likes that store too. And all of my relatives shop from trader joes too. I just can't say enough about this store. I heard in the past that Aldi and Trader Joes are from one branch. I am not sure if it's true. I don't go to Aldi but I go to Trader Joes. If you haven't been to it then you are missing out on it. I would go at least ones to check it out.

We always loved this restaurant. It's in downtown des plaines, IL. Very nice resturant by the metra station. Always crowded prices on food is little pricy too. We always went there as kids and now we take our little niece/nephews/cousins.When you go there they have birthday club sign up too. At the birthday time they will send out a mail card at home or in a email for a free meal for your child. It's very nice. Train actually brings the food for you and your child. there's 10 counters...not too big but still worth it, orders come very fast after you ordered it so you don't have a long wait there. If you haven't gone with your child then i would recommending at least once to go try. You'll enjoy it and your child will too.

Every summer i take my little cousins to the mystic waters in Des Plaines, IL. Tickets are very reasonable and we have so much fun time at the mystic waters.It's always crowded no matter what day and the time we go there but still it's very worth it. It's not too bad with finding a parking there. Last time we went there we spent almost whole day there. My little cousins didn't want to get out of the water slides. They were having a wonderful time there. Even i enjoyed a lot there. I wish they had indoor mystic water park there too...where i would've gone with my cousins even in winter. It's a beatific water park. I would recommend everyone to go and check it out.
