as promised...

...a few more pictures of Chicago!
Riding the El is a treat!

Andy enjoys one of the last few days with his old phone.  (He just upgraded to a Droid!  No more texting with number keys for him!)


Oz Park is just as fun as we remember it... especially with friends!

Chicago still spends way too much on flowers downtown... but it is lovely.

We had breakfast with the Kings on Saturday.  There were six little giggly, chatty girls at our table!  Alli was delighted to see her pal Annaliese.
(You will have to imagine this... I forgot to bring the camera along).
We took a tour of the Lincoln Park Conservatory, and the tour guide was a friend of ours from church!  Hyrum taught us all about plants.  Did you know that bananas will stay green for a long time until they are put near a ripe yellow one?  Then they ripen.  That's how they get them to ripen at the store.

We ordered food from Simply It.  Still amazingly delicious.  And the owner is adorable!
Alli got to play with Elijah.  His guitar skills have vastly improved.  He can actually play real songs! 

He even did a duet with his mom on a coffee table stage complete with rockstar lighting and his "headset" (the headband, feather and string).  Elijah made a friendship bracelet for Alli.
We attended our old congregation on Sunday.  There are so many people there we love and miss so much.  It was a happy reunion with our friends.
