My mom, who will henceforth be called “Mema” in honor of her ol' grandma name, came to visit! Here are some pics; it was a lovely time.
At The Beach
Mema twirling Royal in Lake Michigan. She spun both Royal and Graham, then needed a break!
At The Shedd Aquarium
The tank's full of sting rays you can touch. Royal and Graham both managed to touch one, but Graham would have stayed all day while Royal was ready to move on in fifteen minutes.Graham enjoyed the dolphins, but his preference is for penguins. Royal, however, squealed with delight every time they swished by.
At The Botanic Gardens
I didn't get a pic of Graham this time, but he spents an hour every time we visit the model trains.For a brief moment they were (mostly) still...The boys love playing with water above all else. Royal's too focused to tell, but he's glowing on the inside.The Botanic Gardens are such a wonderful place (sigh).Nope, we didn't move to Arizona. This is a greenhouse at the Botanic Gardens. Cheers!
