The Sherry Family Thanksgiving Adventure : Part 1 : Chicago

We left Shreveport at 5:30 in the evening, travelled for 14 hours, and arrived in Chicago just in time for rush hour!  But, man, I love this town.

 

Leif left me and the kiddos with our friends, Aaron & Coco, and took off for his family's hunting weekend in Wisconsin.  We were there briefly, but had some amazing adventures!

 

After braving H&M on Michigan Avenue, we walked to the Brown Line for Liam to ride his first train around the downtown loop.  We had no destination, just an experience!

 

Waiting for the train:

 

This was Liam the whole time:

 

We got off at Wabash and walked over the bridge back to Aaron & Coco's condo:

High rise breakfast:

 

(Our friends were well equipped with binoculars for Liam to see far and wide)

 

On Saturday, Liam took his first city bus ride to the zoo!

 

So, he likes this hoodie (thanks to cousin Henry!)...you'll see a lot of it.

 

When I got weary, Aaron took over the Baby Bjorn.  Good practice for their baby coming in May!!!

 

Larkin got weary, too:

 

 

 

Look forward to the next installment of the Sherry Family Thanksgiving Adventure!

Advice

I think one of my biggest worries of raising my children (these days) is that they won't be kind.

I see cruelness in kids.  Even at VBS, one of the best of circumstances, kids are mean to each other.  Especially as they get on towards 4th grade.  I see the beginnings of it in Liam's preschool class, sometimes even in my own son.  It's one of the reasons I toss around the idea of homeschooling.

I'm not saying it wasn't this way when I was growing up.  It might be normal...but that doesn't make it right.

This blog post a friend posted on Facebook has some good words of advice on manners.  I think I'll be poking around this blog more often in search for more nuggets of wisdom...
