You never know what kind of weather you will have during springtime in the Windy City.
When we visited in November we experienced the first snow of the season.
On this visit it snowed on our grandson's birthday!!
Every day of our visit was cold with either snow or rain.
However, the kids and grandchildren warmed our hearts!
Each time we visit we bring a small gift for each of the grandchildren.
Our grandson commonly gets a tool to add to his tool bag.
This visit he received a small level.
I was not sure what to give our granddaughter,
but I had a small pom pom in our gift collection so decided to give her that.
She used her creative talent to to find many uses for the pom pom.
It became hair for Strawberry!
Note the extreme talent displayed in the drawing of the facial features.
That is all mine!!
The pom pom also became a feather duster.
The house was spotless when she finished dusting.

On Saturday we all traveled by bus and train to the downtown loop.
The girls exited the train first and
went to the Children's Library.

| Pink Princess |

| Firegirl |

| Spinner |

| Unicorn & Scorpion craft |
There were so many activities for the children!!
I would not want to be the one cleaning up at the end of the day though.
The boys continued on the train to the stop for Wrigley Field.
They had tickets for the afternoon Cub's game!
Our grandson is a big Rizzo fan.
The seats were excellent, but the weather was not.
The wind was blowing right in their faces,
so they only stayed for one inning.
Before they came home they had lunch downtown and
watched some of the game on the restaurant TV.
Stayed tuned for the next post . . .
the 6th Birthday celebration!
