Chicago Weekend

We headed to Chicago this past weekend to visit friends. Hung golfed with Du, Josh and Kirk on Saturday. Avery and I had a busy day of our own - we met John and Jill at the zoo in the morning. It was a little cool and lot of the animals seemed to be hiding inside but the kids had fun running around and played for about 20 minutes on the binocular stand (random!). After lunch and nap, we picked up Jill M. (who is sporting the CUTEST baby bump) and headed over to meet Lisa's new baby girl Clara. Avery was a little jealous and also tried to stash some of Clara's toys in our diaper bag but she kept telling us how cute the baby was. Clara was VERY sweet and it was fun to hold a little newborn again. We then all headed to dinner at a Korean BBQ place near Uncle Du's house. After dinner we got ice cream - which Avery loved the best! On Sunday morning, Uncle Du took Avery to a new park near his house while we loaded up the car.

Given that it was Central time, Avery was QUITE the early riser. So despite some sleep deprivation, we all had a fun time.
