My Kind of Town

I was on a plane this past weekend. Up, up, up, up up! We went to see Uncle David and Nana Mary in Chicago. Uncle David had, a, triangle? Tricycle? I know I've heard the word before. Triathlon? Triforce? Well whatever it was, he did it. Good job!


It was a really busy trip for us. We stayed with some of mama's friends and they have a new daughter - Aubrey - who is less than a year old. I felt like such a big boy. I sure can learn a lot from her though because when we're at restaurants she's such a good baby. Aubrey, you're doing it all wrong. This is the time to fuss and go crazy because people expect it! As soon as we arrived, dadda said we had to go somewhere for lunch. He was a little silly about it but I'm glad we listened to him because they certainly don't have pizza like this back home in Brooklyn.


Then on Saturday we left the house pretty early and went to visit some of dadda's friends. I met Gary and Jill O'Reilly and Gary let me play with all his cool things. I have a feeling some of that stuff probably wasn't meant to be played with by little kids but has that ever stopped me in the past? After we left their home, we drove some more and stopped in at Dan and Penny Kurszewski's. Wow, do they have a fun home or what! All those toys, and the basketball hoop, and Noah's go-kart. I really liked meeting Noah and his little sister Ava. Penny said Ava was a little sick so we didn't play together as much as I wanted but we did all go to the park.


This was a really cool park.


Back in the car. Seriously though, how many stops were we going to make? At that point I just threw in the towel and fell asleep. Looking back I wish I hadn't because I missed out on Marquette!


Well I woke up just in time because one of our last stops was for ice cream. Oh wait, it wasn't ice cream. That's right because dadda kept saying it was something else very similar to ice cream. Oh whatever it was, it was good and I know why dadda went here many, many times while he lived in Milwaukee. Custard! That's it!


I had a really fun time on this trip. Chicago certainly is a fun place to visit. I'm hoping to go back again. Mama's friend, Sara, said something about coming back next year so my dadda could take me to my first game at Wrigley Field. Until then, dreaming of playing third for the Cubs in LANDEN'S WORLD!
