Kiddieland - the end of an era

Kiddieland, a Chicago icon, is closing at the end of the summer after 81 years. We visited this amusement park last summer and the kids loved it so we knew we were going to go back for the final summer season. It was a very fun afternoon!



First Baseball Game and a Lost Tooth

Jonah finally played in his first baseball (T-ball) game. After watching his teammates and coaches, he finally donned his uniform and his hat and joined the game playing third base. After a few failed attempts, we're so proud of him for trying his first park district program!
And, not to outshine her brother, Maya's first wiggly tooth finally out. The tooth fairy visited last night and gave her $5.00!!

Annual Block Party

Sept. 12 was our annual block party. After camping in Taylor Park the night before, the kids were tired...but that didn't stop them from riding bikes and scooters, jumping in the moon jump, and playing all day with their friends and neighbors. Here are some pictures of the kids bobbing for apples and Jonah with one of the many water balloons.
