and even negotiated the death-defying traverse 

and Rafi had great fun on the slide 

Over at the playground, some old places were re-visited 

Rafi decided that Gehrey was pretty cool after all 

while Freya checked out the world through Daddy's shades 

with Rafi as always scrambling over anything she could find 

next day we were off for a stroll in Milenium Park 

and we even mastered the special slide for golf balls 

we all got pretty good at sticking letters on the wall 

Mummy always provides the best chair 

perpetual motion was stopped for a brief moment 

and the nice lady singing songs was very entertaining 

getting much better at fishing for shrimp 

then, with fantastic weather, we had an action packed weekend- first a trip to Navy Pier and the Children's Museum 

of course, sometimes Mummy's clothes are far more fun than actually helping to tidy 

then we had to help Mum prepare for Grandma and Grandpa's visit... 

busy week this week... first we had a visit from Owen and Henry...and carnage was the obvious result! 

generally happy as can be, spalshing around 

even getting as far as the water drenched wall 

meanwhile, Rafi was off to where the excitement was 

but the ripples were fun 

or maybe it was tactical awareness, desparately trying to avoid the boistrous big kids and their splashing 

and evem showed signs of enthusiam! 

but she did get around... 

Freya found her water legs in the end... although she never really lost her 'suspicous' look
