Andrew Bird Concert
We haven't listened to this native Chicagoan very much, but we went to his concert a couple of weeks ago in Millennium Park with some new friends! We were really grateful to experience this "multi-instrumentalist", pan-folk whistling stringster. If you haven't given him a listen, do!

End of Summer!
It has almost been a month since I've last posted, so we have some catching up to do! The month of August and beginning of September have been so beautiful here. We've enjoyed spending time outdoors and sleeping with the windows open! Yes, fall is in the air!
A few weeks ago we went to the taping of Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me a NPR quiz show. It was interesting to see something that we usually listen to through the radio.
I often take walks along the shore of Lake Michigan! This was a particularly beautiful morning!
I've spent some of my days visiting the museums in Chicago! This photo is of Sue, the world's most complete t-Rex, in the Field Museum! A nice older museum volunteer told me all about her! I like to take advantage of the free museum days - I try to get there early and avoid the hoards of school children!!!
These next few photos are from the Chicago Air and Water Show. In the above photo, there are a bunch of skydivers (which you may not be able to see) in the middle of the spiral contrails. Anyway, Bill Murray, is among the people that skydived that day! Fun!
These Blue Angels were practicing for a few days before the actual show and were pretty loud. Brad could see them from his office & I saw/heard them from our apartment. I went to the zoo one morning and the animals were freaking out from all the noise - especially the huge silverback gorillas. Have you ever seen a 350 lb gorilla run as fast as it possibly can? It was kind of funny, but I felt so sorry for all the animals!
Perfect Formation!!!
We went to a Sunday afternoon Cubs game with the KU Alumni Association. Good thing that KU and the Cubs have the same colors - we could support both our teams! It was an amazing day (please notice the blue of the Lake in the background)! Also, John Cusack led us in the 7th inning stretch!
