A lovely day today! Our wonderful friend Jen Littlefield is in town visiting from New York City (where everything looks beautiful when you're young and pretty) and joined us for a picnic in Hyde Park before an afternoon excursion to the south loop Target, Alcalas Western Wear (to get Baba's boots cleaned), Dairy Queen, and the fantastic Oz Park, certainly the finest playground in Chicago I've yet seen. Statues of Dorothy and Toto, Tin Man, Scarecrow and the Cowardly Lion, a garden, plenty of space for baseball and soccer, and a terrific play area with some of the best play structures I've ever come across. It makes me wish I was either five years old or an eccentric billionaire who could have a similar (though larger-scale) set up built for myself.
