Father's Day means pancakes and hi-fives for me.

Yesterday I drove down to Chicago to spend time with my nearly three-year-old grandson, Ellis and give my daughter and son some needed time to work on their new yard. We visited my old haunts in Chicago, our apartments in Boystown and Lincoln Park and of course numerous parks and the Lincoln Park zoo. Needless to say, the kid was worn out.

Wrigley Field!

The second window from the top was our second Chicago apartment and first daycare spot!

He must get the silliness from his dad's side ;)

Tongue-out time

We returned to my daughter's Irving Park home to find mountains of pulled weeds, a lawn mowed, and two people with very sore muscles. After a good nights sleep, we headed out to a father's day breakfast and fun at the park before I headed back to Madison to work on my own yard!

Syrup-laden smiles!

Swings!

Hope your weekend was as great as mine! Happy Father's Day, everyone!
