I had been waiting two weeks, and finally, they were here! The Tafoya family joined us in Chicago this weekend to visit and experience the city. They arrived on Friday at about 6 or 7. They surprised us with yummy snacks, and birthday presents for David! They hadn't eaten dinner yet, so we ordered a Chicago style pizza from Giordano's Pizza. Then, David and I shared The Princess Bride with them and (thank goodness) we all laughed :)
The next morning, my dad and I made a super yummy breakfast of eggs and toriso (a Mexican sausage-type meat). We used flour tortilla shells to eat it with. This is a meal that my dad would make for us kids some Sunday mornings for breakfast, and it was treat to cook it with my dad and eat it with my family :)
One thing I had told my family we should definitely do when they got here, is go to the Lincoln Park Zoo. It's the one I had been taking Bailey too, it's free, engaging, and huge! Josiah in particular was very excited about going there. But unfortunately, the weather didn't look too promising. We decided to venture there anyways, planning to take advantage of the animal houses if it rained. Josiah was relieved :) Here are some pictures of the day:
