Undocumented Fun :(

On Thursday I drove into the city, picked up my wonderful friend, Christine, and went to the Shedd Aquarium. We haven't been for 2 years, so it was time. The best part of the day for me was when we found street parking and the meter was almost full, so we paid 50 cents for parking instead of the $16 I was expecting!!! As always, Dillon's favorite part was the dolphin show. Unfortunately in an attempt to delete a couple blurry pics, I deleted all them all!!! So you'll just have to trust me--it was a great day!

Pumpkin Farm

Thanks to some of our friends, this last Saturday we took a spontaneous trip to a local pumpkin farm/zoo. They had lots of animals that you could pet and feed. Wesley loves animals especially now that he is learning to make all their sounds so he was really fun to watch.
We were able to hold little baby chicks. Dillon thought it was really fun... ...until it started to flap its wings! (Please excuse my wind-blown hair!)
The highlight for Dillon was of course the train ride. He also loved all the big blow up toys. It was hard to get him to leave.
Of course we went on the coldest day we've seen yet, and since. Wesley was a trooper!
The pony rides were another highlight
Thanks Nate, for playing with these pics and making them even more fun!
Wesley was "neighing" the whole time.
His face looks so serious, but he really seemed to enjoy the ride. He liked feeling the soft horsey!
Before leaving we got apple cider donuts---Mmmmm! It reminded me of good old Carter Mountain in Virginia---man, I miss that place. But we're sure having a lot of fun here!
