The Windy City

Mia, Papa and Mommy went for a short trip to Chicago this past weekend. We arrived Friday night and went out to dinner. Here are Papa and Mia (asleep) at Kiki's Bistro on North Franklin. The food was so yummy!

Later on, we met up with Uncle Larry for dessert at our hotel. Uncle Larry is playing a fun game with Mia. It is called "How Many Fingers Can I Stick in My Mouth at One Time?" Uncle Larry was very good at it, but Mia was better (smaller fingers). Mommy thought this was hilarious.


On Saturday, Mia, Papa and Mommy met up with Aunt Holly and Uncle Faruk and went to the Lincoln Park Zoo. Here are Papa and Mia on our walk to the zoo. Mia is bundled up because the morning started out a little chilly. But the weather turned out beautiful!


We saw lots of animals - zebras, gorillas, wildebeests... Uncle Faruk made lots of funny animal noises.

Here we are all together outside the Conservatory.
This visit was so much fun! The big lesson that Mommy and Papa learned, though, is that Mia ALWAYS needs her naps to stay fresh and happy, like this:
