Going to Chicago

We left for Chicago on August 15th for my friends' wedding. Avery, due in no small part to a mini dvd player, was an angel coming and going, and the rest of the time, too. Except bedtime. She wasn't used to sleeping in a big bed with mommy and daddy. It took a while for us to figure out that she just needed to cry for a few minutes and would fall asleep. Unfortunatly, by the time we figured it out, it was 1 am Sunday. Oh well.

Taking the scenic route through Gary.

The Skyway. $5 worth.

"Big City! Big City!"

A fine Italian restaurant was the site of the rehearsal dinner.

Bed time.
Saturday before the wedding, we went to the aquarium. Avery enjoyed it very much.

Watching the dolphin show.
A glass floor allowed our miss to look down on a stingray.


Our friends Ed and Jenna.

The happy couple, Anthony and Tal. Mazel Tov!
During the wedding, Avery grabed our camera, held it to her eye and yelled "say cheese!" over and over again. It was pretty funny. Good thing we were in the back.



Avery's new buddy Walker. They played together for the entire time we weren't eating. It was great to see them playing.
