Saturday, I made dinner for all. A giant cucumber salad, braciole with rigatoni, and lemon cheesecake for dessert. Yum-O!
Sunday was the meeting and the Bears game. Soooo, the family all came here for lunch. This included the Saxes--long time BFFs of my parents. Lunch was my take on Chicago style hot dogs for Brian and pulled barb-b-que chicken sandwiches (courtesy of Jack Daniels...in your refrigerated meat case at your corner market). We had french fries and the remaining cucumber salad.
Allegra tried to teach me to crochet. It didn't take completely while she was here but I keep working and am pleased with my progress. She'll weigh in on it at the end of the month when I'm there for the weekend. (Long story, different post. )
Now we get to Monday and the title of this post (although, in hindsight, I think it may apply to the entire weekend). This day was about Allen. ALL about Allen. First stop Khol Children's Museum. Let's let some photos tell the story:
Did you notice that Allen sticks his tongue out when out concentrating? I love it that that he concentrates like that while grocery shopping. Won't he make some lovely woman a wonderful husband in, I don't know, 30 years or so?
So what do you think--who had more fun? The four year old or the six adults he had in tow?
Next stop: Shedd Aquarium. Flashes upset the fish so photos are limited. I'll see what I can dig up...
I love rays! Even the stingrays (like above) look like they are smiling at you!
Okay, I'm outta stuff to say.
I love you all, but I'm done.

OK, it's obvious you and the other adults had a good time but what was Allen's take on the day? I'd love to know his comments.
Ya know, I don't think he said a whole lot. It was a lot of stuff all at once. He did say he liked the penguins best...which is funny, because the penguins were in the dark. We don't know why, but the lights weren't on in their area.
I knew I liked Allen; penguins are my favorite at the Aquarium also.
Fun, fun, fun. I can't wait to go there too! Elena might not be quite ready yet though.
We're ready to go again as soon as you are. You're invitation is always open!
Yes, the adults did have quite a bit of fun. Allen enjoyed the Children's Museum, but it was a bit overwhelming. Same with the aquarium, though he was thrilled to see the sharks and play in the submarine ...
xoxo,
leggy
