Slacking a little bit

So Since Bryan has been in school for two weeks now, our time "doing" things has diminished a little bit. BUT I still have things to share. Last Saturday we had nothing much to do...we tried going to Millennium park, but soon realized that unless we wanted to spend over 10 dollars to park that was not going to work.



So instead we decided to take a little driving tour of the parts of the city we had not seen before. We came upon a bridge that was "open" so we took a little video and some pictures. We have always noticed that these bridges have the ability to be raised open to let barges and big boats come through but we had never seen one open before. So it was a grand experience for us.









And then as we drove more, we just happened to come upon the OPRAH studio. That was pretty crazy!!! It was just in the middle of a bunch of houses and you would never even know it was there unless you saw the sign...


which we did happen to see (I should say Bryan saw first)




So we now know where Oprah is taped. quite interesting.

After this we decided to try and find a park for Kambria to go and play at. So some more driving. We passed the Polish museum...which I thought was cool...
Maybe one day, Kambria will allow me to go inside and see...





And then at the park, we saw some pretty cool trees with very potent smelling flowers. So Bryan had to make sure to take some pictures.






We also saw soem REALLY big dandelions, which Kambria thought were flowers, and I know MaryEllen would say..."Those aren't flowers they are weeds!!" but they were too big to pass up taking the picture. You cant really tell how big they are, but believe me, they were BIG!!!!

Love the flowers. Dandelions are only flowers when your kid picks them for you to put in a bud vase in the window. You just can't pass that up
