I was able to take a very, very fun trip on Saturday to Chicago! I went on a bus trip with a local cooking school to explore some of the ethnic areas and markets of Chicago. It was fantastic! We brought big coolers and were able to explore, eat and buy all day long. We also spent an hour at a fresh seafood wholesale market where we stocked up on shrimp, scallops, salmon and other fish. My friend, Laurie, and I had a great time and can't wait for the next trip. While I was out and about, Josh was home holding down the fort and doing some serious manual labor! He shoveled and spread mulch for hours and hours all day Saturday and Sunday to spruce up our many, many flower beds. He also spent 5 hours with our neighbor, dismantling their playset and re-erecting it in our yard. The kids are thrilled!!! Max has been climbing and swinging on the monkeybars while Taba swings, and Calvin and Quincy make forts. Love it! The neighbors were also thrilled to have it out of their yard as they plan to put up a basketball court instead. Max had a sleepover at a friend's house last night in addition to a soccer game on both Saturday and Sunday. He is worn out! (So is Josh....)
