Great Fun with Grandma & Grandpa Lindsay

My parents saved the day and came to help us with childcare needs for 1.5 weeks in August. For Lindsay, it was a wonderful summer vacation in the city with "the spoilers". Their adventures documented here included: The Farm at Lincoln Park Zoo, going out to brunch, playing with water on the front porch, eating Frosties (can you tell how much Lindsay liked it?), going to a Little Miss Ann Wiggleworms concert in Millennium Park & playing in the fountain there and enjoying a new obsession: coloring with the coloring supplies from Grandma & Grandpa.

Honky Tonk Woman

Scott, Lindsay and I went to one of the free outdoor concerts in the North Center Square last week. It was a country/honky tonk concert and Lindsay really had fun dancing to the music.

The ever stylish Gassaways (parents Tom & Virginia and sister Carrie of my lifelong friend Eric) sent Lindsay this darling summer lounge suit when she was born.

I am so excited it finally fits. She is looking very "South Beach" in this number!

A Ski Trip (Use Your Imagination)

Today Amanda and I took our girls to the park. I think these pictures of Charlie "driving" the fire engine (and Lindsay along for the ride) are hilarious. I think you have to consider them a mini series... "I have to put the pedal to the medal," said Charlie. "Hold on, Lindsay!"

"Pipe down in the backseat! I have to concentrate arond this turn!" (I'm envisioning them on the outskirts of Denver starting the hairpin turns in the mountains for a ski weekend).

"Uh, oh...I think I just hit that ice patch a bit too quickly. It is not funny, Lindsay!"

"Whew, that was close. Now it should be smooth sailing, Lindsay."




Lindsay takes the wheel.

Millennium Park Fun

After checking out the new wing at the Chicago Art Institute last weekend, we had a fantastic plan to finally take Lindsay to the famous Millennium Park fountains. It was fantastic until it started raining right when we arrived. I included these first three pictures to show scale...

Fun with Daddy...

Splashing in the puddles was more interesting to Lindsay than seeing the fountain.
