We were lucky enough to be staying with the Wallers in their beautiful home in Naperville. They were very keen to take us drinking downtown and met their lovely friends Tammy and Eric. It all got very much out of control, Patty nearly lost her cool and was close to starting a good old fashioned pub brawl.
After a great weekend in Naperville, we decided to give Patty and Graham a break from their duties as our new parents and headed to downtown Chicago. Meaning: DEEP DISH PIZZAS!
We went to Millennium Park where reality is distorted and the fountains spit.
Only 3,953 miles from home. Walkable I'd say.
A Roaring Lion in Chicago Zoo. Or was it yawning...
Graham and Patty took us for an autumn bike ride followed by ice cream!
On this unusual day of exercise we found a windmill and climbed it successfully.
After riding the Ferris wheel and enjoying a swing ride, we stumbled across this bizarre creature lurking around the Navy Pier. BEWARE.
For most of the time we were staying in Naperville the weather was glorious so we took advantage by playing games and drinking Margaritas in the garden. This particular one involved throwing beanbags into holes (Alex and I were really good).
Daniel and Spike hanging out.
Alex and Paul keeping it real.
Thank you so much to these lovely people for looking after us both and showing us a bloody good time. Hope to see you all again soon.
P.s. Katie likes leopards.
