New sidekick.....

 

Chris convinced the family to join him on a trip to Chicago to a sports show that he seems to have a magnetic connection to finding.  We thought sure, we love Chicago....Brady immediately wanted in on the sports show, Chris tried to explain that it may be boring and you might not know all these older players. Brooke and I gracefully bowed out and decided to find something else to entertain us for the afternoon. So we got to enjoy some pie and found an outlet mall across the street from the show, how convienent! I wanted to stay close as I feared Brady would be over the novelty in 30 minutes and he would be begging Chris to leave. But nope, four hours passed and still no phone call to  pick him up....So guess who has found a new little sidekick? Brady loved it, and so did Chris. He said there aren't many kids running around these things so Brady was like his pawn to get to talk with these guys as they gave "the boy" a little extra atttention. win win.

 

Can't go to chicago and not drown yourself in this....

 

Brooke found her happy place a old fashioned candy store that I bribed her with if she complied to get matching Christmas jammies (the first year that she has fought me on it)....win win.

Mr. Kaline and Brady.

I joke that these look like Olan Mills family photos.

 

Issiah was nice enough to sign a ball for the Brady man. I think the verdict is still out on who is keeping that.

The weekend wasn't all sports....we got a chance to find some favorite eats.

 

Hit Wrigleyville with the kids.....not too many kids hitting the streets on Saturday night in Wrigleyville but wanted to try our friends new restaurant that they just reopened.

Kids also got to hang out with their buds the Wades.

 

 Its been a banner month for sports for Chris. Lions games, sports shows, Redwing games with an added bonus. Long story short he made his way down to the locker room after the RW game ran into Yzerman and this guy. Met the coach, sat on the bench etc..... etc.....he always finds a way.

Honestly I can't rembmer who this even is Alan Trammell? I can't keep track.

Kids also got to enjoy their first GR drive game, a new minor league basketball team that is in GR.
