A trip to the city

Having a free weekend, we decided to make a trip into Chicago to do some touristy stuff. This included a trip to Millennium Park, some cupcakes, and an overnight at a nice hotel.

Polo!

This afternoon we watched the John Greene Polo Invitational at Arranmore Farm. There were bounce houses, pony rides, ice cream, bad 80′s music, and of course, polo.

Ian loves “orange juice”

We’re sitting at a local restaurant waiting for our dinner.

Ian: I want orange juice!
Me: I don’t think they have orange juice here.
Ian: Yes they do. Look! (he points to a pitcher of beer on a nearby table)
Katra: No, honey, that’s not orange juice, that’s beer. That’s only for mommies and daddies.
Ian: Oh… I love that kind of drink.
Katra and me: (exchange concerned looks)
