It's Root, Root Root For The White Sox






Daddy's a huge White Sox fan and he has taken me to a couple games already, but this time we sat in awesome seats, thanks to his friend Dave Rockland at Jam. They are directly behind the visitor's dugout, which happened to be the Toronto Blue Jays. We didn't boo cause we love us some Toronto. I was so close to home plate, first base and the pitcher's mound, but I was more into eating popcorn and a hot dog and talking to the people sitting behind us. The seats are also on TV whenever a lefty was up. I was sure to wave to Papa each time and the next morning Dad replayed the game so I could see myself on TV. It was cold and a bit rainy, so I wanted to leave around the 6th inning, but not before we saw Alexei Ramirez hit a grand slam, which meant some loud fireworks. The Sox went onto win 10 - 2, but have since played like poop.

A Visit From The Bunny






I spent Easter weekend at Gigi and Papa's with Daddy, Uncle Dave, Aunt Lori, Uncle Mark and my cousins Alexa, Madison and Quinn. I woke up and played with Gigi and just before Dad came downstairs I found an Easter basket, then I found another, and then one more. Luckily for me, at some point Easter became a Jr. Christmas, so I got a marble contraption and a Play-Doh thingy to go along with enough candy to last me a month. Seriously, there's still a basket full of it on my Dad's kitchen table.
As if toys and candy were not enough, I got to go to the First Congregational Church of LaGrange with Gigi and Papa. I made it through the entire service thanks to some awesome stained glass windows and killer organ jams.
The day's Easter themed activities ended with an egg hunt in the backyard with my cousins. I found more than Alexa, but had lots of help.

The Field Museum






My Chicago Museum tour continued a couple weeks ago with a visit to The Field Museum, one of our cities oldest. Mom, Dad and me went to the (old-school) Real Pirates exhibit, but before we zoomed through that we checked out the huge display of taxidermy, from the littlest bugs, to the largest mammals. However, I was more into the old phones and buttons on the sometimes outdated displays. Dad took some photos throughout the short visit, but the pirates were off limits. I had a blast, got a snake, and we became members, so I am sure I'll be back soon to see the rest. Admittedly, it's got a little ways to go to overtake my love of the Museum Of Science Of Industry, which I visited a couple months ago with Gigi, Papa, and Dad. Thanks to Dad's hard drive fail I have no photograph memories of the visit. Gotta go back.
