A Day in the Park

Monday, we spent the day at Central Park. The plan was to leave early in the morning. I didn't wake up until 8:45am because I didn't go to sleep until around 1:30am. The ear plugs blocked out everything in the morning so I slept in by accident. My family was really nice to me. We headed out a little late but did manage to get by a Dunkin Donuts for coffee....yeah for me.... and the park was great. It is so neat to see in the middle of this huge city is this beautiful park to enjoy and get away from the busyness of the city. This part has been our favorite so far. We have determined that we enjoy nature and mountains very much. And Chicago. We love Chicago!! The first picture is of Balto, the Alaskan sled dog. Jack and I just finished reading this several weeks ago and Spencer read this in first grade. They loved climbing up on his back. We also played at this playground in the second picture. This was so amazing with rock bridges, climbing things and playing hide and seek. And then we found the lake where you can rent canoes!!! It was a very pretty day after all the rain!!!
