We ticked off three things on our Chicago to do list on Friday.
1. Polar bear at the zoo. (We even saw him eat hard boiled eggs!)
We saw some other great animals too. We had a lot of luck. Elliott was especially happy to see his “brother” King who was born around the same time as him – but who likely was moved so this was just another rhino we spent 20 min gazing at.
Nana and Pop watched the kids while Jordan and I checked out a suburb.
Clayton held Natalie’s hand throughout the zoo and copied a lot of what she said. Cute. Cousin time.
2. Chi Che Wang Park, which was our “backyard” when we lived on Diversey
Elliott forgot to look at our old house so we actually had to swing by on our way back from our 3rd to do item
3. Scooters for worms and dirt ice cream!
On the car ride to ice cream Elliott requested “get drunk on a plane”. I think he had been listening to too much country with Alison!
We had a great and full 2 days with the Linville crew before they headed to South Dakota for vaca and we headed to Green Bay! (3 hr 45 min trip for us – longer than usual due to Milwaukee traffic/ maybe an accident and construction comes – with no construction). Makes us think twice about moving to the SW suburbs!
