Visiting the park - Chicagostyle

While in the Chicago area for a week, we made it down to visit Suzanne, Rob and their children Jake and Emme for a couple nights.  To Brooke's excitement, a great sprinkler ball was pulled out for the children for water to play in and laugh.

Jake's younger sister Emme joining in the fun. Keira on the other hand didn't like it so much.

After a drying off and moving inside, they resorted to what all children love to do: play underneath the dining room table!

The next day we took a city walk.  Much different for Brooke and Keira from our suburban neighborhood walks!  Nothing like cruising up Southport with the Radio Flyer and a double stroller. (when Mom and Dad first met, Dad lived right off Southport, so they "cruised" there too, but looking for restaurants and bars, not parks!)

At the park, Suzanne helped Emme to a drink.  It was a hot hot day in the city!

For Brooke, this was certainly a different park from what she was used to back home.  Where were the woodchips and grass?

Great time in Chicago!  Thank you to Suzanne and Rob for hosting us a couple days!
