adler planetarium

It's no secret that Chicago winters are brutal and while we all suffer through it in our own painful way, I have to say that it's pretty rough with a toddler.  In fact, we dread rainy and freezing days because the chances of running around at the park or playing soccer on the field is non-existent.  So, now comes the time where we resort to all indoor activities and I have to say that one of my favorites by far is the Adler Planetarium.

teddy bear picnic at emerald city theater company

Last weekend we had the pleasure of attending a Teddy Bear Picnic at the Emerald City Theater Company for a two-year-old's birthday party.  We drive by this place weekly and I automatically assumed that it was out of Liam's age range, but alas I was mistaken and we participated in a fantastic morning of adventures with a family bears who welcomed us to their picnic.
