Summer 2008 Chicago Visit
I haven't done a substantial update for a while. I thought it might be time.We came to Chicago (Northbrook) on June 15.
We arrived just in time for Father's Day. We really surprised Grandpa, who I now refer to as "papa" by the way.I've been touring popular parks in the area with my daddy
Not to mention a visit to Glencoe Beach, not too far from Grandma and Grandpa's house. I nearly buried myself trying to dig my way back to Korea.
I've taken the train a couple times. Though I take the subway nearly every day in Seoul, it's not the same. I love the train here. It's so big and loud. It's both scaring and exciting. There's so much to see out the window too.
I'm preparing for my Aunt Marcey's wedding. I read the ring bearer's book that they game me until I passed out...
...and I tried on the tux I'm going to wear, though I didn't make it easy on daddy because that wouldn't be fun. I have to admit, I clean up well :)
Daddy's been treating me to a lot of ice cream much to mommy's chagrin. I better enjoy it now, before she joins us on the 7th.
I really loved going to Lincoln Park Zoo with daddy and Anika. We had a great time running around and seeing all of the neat animals. However, my favorite thing was riding a small train that doesn't seem to have anything to do with the zoo. None-the-less, it was wonderful. Did I mention, I love trains. Here's a picture of us at the zoo.
Last but not least, we have gone to Meadow Hill pool 2 times! It was awesome! I mostly played in the kiddie pool, but I really loved jumping into the big pool. My daddy was really surprised when I begged to jump in again and again. Unfortunately, daddy couldn't get pictures of this since he needed to make sure that I didn't drown.
More to come later. These activities are all from my first couple weeks. I still have the 4th of July and a big wedding to look forward to. Yeah!
