Fall is here! Has settled in pretty good. Fall means Football! Here are some pictures of us watching our friend and his team playing football!

 Snacks, blankets, hoodies-all a must!

Day in Chicago, Part 2-Beach

We left our car at the zoo and walked to some painted trees just outside the zoo for a picnic lunch

Then we walked to the beach

Walking over Lake Shore Dr. Very cool bridge!

The Beach!

I think it is so cool to be playing on a real beach in the shadow of skyscrapers. The building behind us with the two antennaes is the Hancock Building!

As you can see...we pretty much have the beach to ourselves!

That water is was cold!

boys working hard
