We ate dinner right under the watchful eye of Sue the Tyrannosaurus Rex!

The exquisite dessert at the Director's Event held at the Field Museum in Chicago. This was "An Egyptian Pyramid of Milk Chocolate Mousse on Devil's Food Cake with Golden Chocolate King Tut garnish, Mango Sauce and mascerated Fresh Mango" catered by Wolfgang Puck!

Steven waits impatiently for our luggage in Chicago O'Hare

Right before me and the kids left for Chicago, I looked out the window and there was a Mama Moose and her two Baby Moose having breakfast in our side yard! These pics were taken out of the windows in the dining room!

Mama Moose looks at me and says, "I know you are there."
