Chicago

We went to Chicago without Caleb for a weekend. It was good to get away, spend
time together and take a break from chasing a 1 year old.

We sat on a wall in grant park to watch people dance--this was the first weekend
in the summer 'dancin in the park' series.

Lincoln Park Zoo

Neighborhood splash park

Who among us wouldn't play with the chain link fence first?

...and this pole?

Peak!

Braving the water

Enjoying the spontaneous fountains at Alger Middle School

Building immunity

something is really funny!

but i can't remember what it was.



franky forgot to pace when we got there, so the last day at the cottage he slept in this chair all day.

Work is done, now let's go swimming!

Caleb liked to help clean up the beach

moving some sand.

Model behavior

Caleb has already taken an interest in cleaning the floors.

I can walk!

There is some room for improvement though.
