We've been back from our trip for a few weeks, but I am just getting around to posting the pictures. We drove up to Chicago (13 hours) and spent a week with Grandma and Papa. We enjoyed some cooler temperatures, went to a Cubs game, Lincoln Park Zoo, Navy Pier, the American Girl Store and spent time with family and old friends.
This was actually Malloy's 2nd trip to Wrigley Field. She saw a game last summer as well. This year, the Cubs were playing the Braves. She was really torn as to who she should cheer for. Her daddy was telling her to do the Tomahawk Chop and Grandma kept singing "Go Cubs Go". In the end, the Braves destroyed the Cubs so Malloy should have sided with Kyle.
Malloy got to spend some quality time with her uncles, Matt and Kerry. Above, Uncle Matt reviews the American Girl catalog with her in advance of her big trip to the store.
A little backyard fishing with Uncle Kerry. Malloy caught a pretty respectible bass in the first 10 minutes of her fishing experience and was ready to call it quits.
We went to the Lincoln Park Zoo one afternoon. It is much smaller than Brookfield Zoo, but has all the essential zoo animals and best of all - it's free.
Above, waiting for her water taxi ride to Navy Pier.
Below, having fun at the American Girl store. We were lucky enough to enjoy the "experience" without actually having to buy anything. Malloy was content to just hold and look at the dolls.
I met up with one of my oldest and dearest friends, Michelle. Malloy had the best time playing with her 4 year old daughter, Laine.
We went to breakfast with my friend Jackie Spencer and her family. Malloy got to meet Patrick and baby Molly.
