Amy's Photo Gallery

Our Chicago 2006 trip. Click on the photos to see a larger version.

On Friday, we attended the American Girl Doll tea. All of the dolls (and Fozzie and Dana) got their own seats and we enjoyed fine treats.

Our menu included cinnamon rolls, sandwiches and scones, plus a great dessert plate.

Why, yes, we did spend a lot of money on an outfit for both Martha and Penny. And of course it comes in girl sizes, too...

We rode the subway home, with me having issues getting my balance.

Saturday, while Beth, Nancy and Ann were at Stitches Midwest (no pictures allowed, sorry! But shopping - oh the shopping!), the kids, Peter, Sue and Mary Jo played on the computer, kicked the soccer ball, played croquet, got wet at a splash park, and crafted. Peter grilled out, Kira drooled, and we had a picnic outside.

Sunday we went to Chinatown for Dim Sum. While we waited, we went to the open area across the street and saw the Chinese zodiac statues (Amy's a snake, Mark's a monkey and Beth's a dog - Amy just liked the Dragon.) We wandered around a bit afterwards.

After Dim Sum, we went to Millennium Park. We saw the Crown Fountain, were awed by Cloud Gate (aka the Bean), enjoyed the Good Humor Man and played at the water feature before we left.

My purchases from Stitches Midwest (Socks that Rock in Philosopher's Stone and Hot Flash, Tess Designer Yarn, Knitting Nell and a Lantern Moon basket, as well as some patterns)
