Our busy day

Has anyone not heard that Illinois thumped Dad's Northwestern football team at Wrigley Field today?

Just asking.

Long before that, though, Mom, Dad and the kids headed out for a series of events all jumbled together as if it was summer here again.

We went to a fireside storytime at a hotel in the Loop, where three people from Hubbard Street Dance Chicago read "Harold and the Purple Crayon."

We returned to the Chicago Public Library's Bookamania, which only Dad and Levynn attended last year. That's Laura Ingalls Wilder talking to Levynn, who thought that was pretty peachy.

And when Dad split for Wrigley, Mom and the kids headed to the Tribune's plaza for Magnificent Mile Lights Festival activities. Since Dad was at the game and Mom had to work, however, we didn't see the actual parade later in the evening.

Now about that game...

Let's just go with some images and leave it at that.
