Chicago. Part 1.

We made it to Chicago safely!! Pratt really enjoyed his new iPod touch from his honorary aunt and uncle, Ashton and Jonathan. So thanks you guys for pratts wonderful new toy!!





This is a picture of lake Michigan on our way to the hotel. It's so beautiful here. The breeze, the water, the puppies on the streets. All of it.


We ate at a place called potbelly. Pratt had a pretty special chocolate milkshake with two cookies on his straw. He was pretty intrigued...


He and cookie fed the birds at dinner. She's a total grandparent. She wouldn't have ever let me do that...





We met the sweetest dog on the way back. Her name was leelou. And her owner was a little man, and he told us that she was 10.5 years old. Spencer says the owner is gonna die when leelou does. He told pratt he was the sweetest little boy that had ever been born.

He is really good with animals. I think it's because he's learned from Moose A. Moose how to pet a dog. You know, you ask first if the dog likes to be touched, then ask how to do it, then pet him. So sweet.


Cookie took him for a stroll down the hotel hallway just fir fun. See: definition of grandparent :)





And he finally fell asleep watching Diego on a ding. What a great day!! But we really, really miss our dad.
