Back to the City Again

Went back to Chicago this weekend.  Probably my last visit while Rob and Eliz are there.  It was mostly a boys trip with Brad Smith, and Greg Harmon joining me. 



Skyline in the day.  I'm hurting to use a camera better than the one in my phone.

It was a quick trip.  We took a side trip to visit Adela at her new job at "Peachwave".  They have totes the best hun-cal froyo (which is some type of white people jive talk for "yummy yogurt").  Then Friday evening we pretty much spent the evening hanging out in Dan Kruegers room until people started passing out (starting with Ethan Reynolds). 

Saturday morning we went to the "Walker Brothers" (I think) pancake house.  I ordered the 49er flapjacks that take up the whole plate. 

(Imagine a picture of giant flapjacks.... fail on my part)

Then we went by the Home Alone house and watched the Office (which is fantastic this final season) at Rob's.  Later in the afternoon we journeyed to the Lincoln Park Zoo and Brad got to see some cows and goats.  It's kind of funny to learn about how cows and goats produce milk.  Especially when I've seen thousands of them over the years in Michigan.

After that we ate at Giordano's.  I'm sad to say we didn't capture any video of this family that was letting their kids run wild including a 5ish and 6ish year old that were running through the turnstyle door.  They both were caught in it a couple times, or it caught their arm or leg as they were half in and half out.  Awful parents...

Girodano's was perfect, like usual and we all had Cake Shakes from... Piradelli's.  I always mess that one up.  And I don't feel like looking it up cause I'm using the tv computer since I left my netbook at Rob's along with my Bible and a couple books.

Brad's large shake that I finished most of.  I'm a fatty.

It's ok about the Bible because I have others.  I used the one from when I was a kid for Sunday School.  When I was studing I figured out it has almost all of Revelation underlined.  I was a bit obsessive about it as a kid. 

This week was about 1st Corinthians 7 and about how Paul suggest we skip the marriage thing because it's hard to stay focused on God while married.  It wasn't all anti marriage though.  We discussed WHY it's hard and how high school students should really consider if they want another random high school kid to be affecting their life decisions.  I thought it went well though.

Have a great week!  Go for a walk or something.  I know I'll be trying to get out and about this week.
