Michigan Avenue Lights

We went downtown Sunday evening to look at the lights and wander around. This is the time to go. Lots of lights already up and ready but small crowds.

In Pioneer Court we learned how radio is made and played with some fancy color-changing lights.

After a long, chilly, blustery walk, we warmed up with some delicious hot cocoa.

It was a very tasty treat!

Brrrr

It turned cold here... fortunately we are ready for winter!

Thanks for taking us shopping, Gramee!

Evolution

Trick or treat!

We joined the crowds of kids on Harper for Trick or Treating again this year.
John stomped up and down the street in his dino costume.

And the two girls had no trouble going up to strangers' houses to ask for candy this year!

Happy Halloween! Trick or Treat please!

Happy Halloween

From three costumed kids!

Forest preserve

We took a break from our typical trips to the Arboretum to head to the Little Red Schoolhouse forest preserve one day.
Our Da took 900 pictures and not a single one turned out! And we didn't even put John in the shot!

Poor John was so tired he could hardly keep his eyes open, but he did manage to eat his granola bar.

It was a chilly but lovely autumn morning.

We'll be back!

Walk on the rocks

Have we previously

mentioned that my name is John, and I have big blue eyes?

Next time, swipe the cracker crumbs off my face, please, Mama.

Autumn

We found a pile of leaves at the Point that practically had our names written on them.

The brother

John is getting increasingly difficult to photograph.



This is still one of our Mama's favorite shots.

Family photo

We'll just photoshop Mama in later.

Wedding bells

We were so adorable at the wedding. All of us.

Family picture

Even though we all looked nice, at least 20% of us were having a hard time at any given moment.

After!

If it's Columbus Day

then it must be the Hyde Park Book Fair.

It was another beautiful day, and we scored a great Encyclopedia of Cats to boot.

Similaries

My Mama noticed some overlap at the Arboretum.
