Chicago 2010 - Sophie at the park

The kids and I loaded up last week and headed off to Chicago... by ourselves. Dave was in Guam for work and for some insane reason I decided it would be the perfect time to get Max baptized. Let me give a little background on my decision, Dave really wanted to be there for Max's baptism, but since Dave will be done at SUBPAC within the next four months or so he really can't afford to take any time off. Added to that he has been traveling a lot lately and always has so much work to catch up on when he is home. Plus (I know you're thinking will this story never end), Emily, the Max and Sophie's godmother and my aunt is due with her first baby at the beginning of October. So it turned out the best time for our trip to Chicago was when Dave was gone. I'll post photos of the baptism later, but during our trip we went to this great park with a ton of toys and climbing walls and, well, it was pretty fabulous. Sophie was in heaven, so here's a couple photos of her enjoying her playtime.

This is one of those rocking horse things. At least when I was a kid they looked like animals, now they're just random shapes welded together. Sophie thought it rocked, ha ha. (Sorry bad pun)
