Papa and Justin

Papa came to visit this weekend. He came out early Friday and stayed until Sunday. Mia had a great time with him. Saturday we headed down to the city early and ate at one of mommy's favorite places as a kid to eat breakfast. Then we spent the day at the Lincoln Park Zoo. Mia loved seeing the giraffes, polar bears, turtles, penguins, sea otters...then she took a nap. By the time we made our way to the Farm in the Zoo she woke up to see her favorites - the cows, goats, pigs and ponies! We made it to the truck before it really started to pour. Later in the day, we tried a new mexican restaurant in Hammond, IN recommended by one of mom's friends. It was yummy and after dinner dad took Papa on a tour of some old steel mill towns (Mia and mom had fun in the back seat). Sunday Papa left early after going to get coffee with dad, their Sunday ritual.

Then we headed back to the city for the Justin Roberts concert at the Retro on Roscoe street fest. It was SO fun, perfect weather and we loved dancing and singing to all our favorite Justin songs (I think mommy had a little too much fun). Mia seemed to enjoy it more that she is older than when we took her last summer. She first sat on dads lap with a look of shock on her like 'are these the songs I know but really loud?" then she got used to it and started to dance and walk all over the place. What a fun weekend we had.
