This summer my parents came to visit us for a little R & R. We had so much fun eating, playing, shopping and hanging out. We all love it when Grandma and Grandpa come to visit :)
They arrived on Saturday afternoon. We had plans to go to the Sox vs. Royals game, however, it rained so change of plans... Dinner at
Old Oak Tap and shopping!
 |
Grandpa ordered a beer from Avery Brewing Co. out of Colorado.
(It was gross, so Daddy drank it!) |
The next day we did some more shopping....
 |
Good Morning, Grandpa.
The next day we found this little guy in our walk-out patio area...

Monday and Tuesday we spent the days exploring the neat neighborhood of Andersonville. We ate delicious meals at
Acres and
Lady Gregory's and found an amazing hutch for my hallway at Roost.
Tuesday, we also celebrated my birthday with dinner at
Enoteca Roma in Wicker Park. Neat outdoor patio and tasty Italian cuisine :) Treats were provided by Sweet Mandy B's...love iced molasses cookies. Happy Birthday, Caroline!
no pictures :(
On our final day with Grandma & Grandpa we took them to
Dinkel's Bakery for THE BEST donuts :) My dad LOVES a good donut...and so do I :)

| Breakfast at Dinkel's! |
The rest of the time we could be found at the park...
