Out and About in Chicago

While the boys were away, Kate, Nana, and I certainly had fun in Chicago! We have actually had a lot of fun around here the last few weeks. One of our favorite stops was Lincoln Park Zoo.

Kate loved the monkeys, piggies, and cows the best. She was a such a great age to take to the zoo as she had such cute amazement. Kate also loves the park. We go there just about everyday the weather cooperates. The "up-down" or see-saw is her favorite. Kate is not afraid of anything at the park. While other kids seem cautious on the equipment, Kate runs back and forth with her Mommy chasing. Another favorite stop we have is Independence Grove. The Grove is a beautiful forest preserve with walking trails and a park. The fall scenery has been beautiful. This is a place we will surely enjoy as the weather gets even better in the spring and summer. Another place we will enjoy very much is our new house! We got the keys on Thursday, our stuff arrived Friday, and we were unpacking all day today. The house is beautiful and we can't wait to get settled in. It is all very exciting, but very busy, like most of our life as of late.
