'Cago and the Big 03!

We all knew the Paw Patrol 40 th celebration would be a tough act to follow. We had to pull out the stops for Isaac's 3rd birthday celebration. Off to Chicago we went for all of Isaac's favorite things.

Choo -choo train! Isaac is thrilled. Annika on the other hand thinks the L train could smell a little fresher.

City sounds and smells were forgiven when Annika enjoyed Millenial Park, the Lincoln Park Zoo, the Shedd Aquarium and of course the hotel pool.

Every where we went there was something to delight.

There is no better way to explore than on foot..or so I say. Annika might request an Uber.

Traveling is tiring. We all agree Chicago has great eats.

Back home on Sunday another cake was made. Paw Patrol!

We might be a little tired come Monday but despite fatigue when it is your chance to wear the crown show up. Just show up. You won't regret it.

Thank you Isaac for bringing not only laughter and joy into our lives but fashion as well. Who needs a Gucci purse when you can sport Thomas the Train.
