More Chicago - Yay for Parks!

One thing I've noticed around here is a huge lack of parks in comparison to the Chicagoland area. They're everywhere up there. But - I suppose the weather's much more mild. Afterall, who really wants to go down a slide or swing in 100+ degree temperatures. Not me certainly. Maybe that's why you see so many pools and water parks down here...

Madelyn hasn't been on too many swings. I hope you get the sense of how completely happy and delirious she was in this one.

R & M. They're the same age {R is actually 2 weeks older.} We've decided they'll be lifelong pals. Just wish we lived closer to one another.

Going down one of the slides. I personally can't wait til she can do this herself - slides aren't made for mommies and daddies. {Should have tried to get a picture of Daddy & Madelyn on the twisty slide - funny stuff!}

Madelyn & Big Bird cruising in the HHR. Still not sure what HHR stands for or how Chevy came up with it... It was an interesting car.
