A couple of weekends ago, we went to Taste of Chicago. I'm delayed in posting these pictures. Basically, Taste of Chicago is a festival of restaurants that gather on one long street and have smaller-sized portions of their food. You purchase tickets and each food "costs" a certain about of tickets. We ate Gyros, goat meat (terrible by the way), potato dumpling somethings and then it got so hot, we spent our last tickets on a ridiculously-sized bottle of water. It was worth it! Sadly, because it was so hot, I think you hot heat-exhaustion. We were out a little over an hour and you were covered the entire time (with the exception of 10 minutes) but it was SO hot! There were people passing out and dehydrating like crazy. We came home and during the night, you had a 102 degree fever. You screamed all night. You rarely cry. You'll complain to let us know you need or want something, but you very rarely full-on cry. Needless to say, your daddy and I were scared beyond belief to see you so unconsolable and fevered. You recouperated however, and are now happy as a clam. Ever since we have been VERY wary of taking you out in the blistering Chicago sun.

This picture totally cracks me up. It reminds me of
an advertisement I'd see outside of a Doener shop
in Germany.

We love the Taste of St. Louis. Never dealt with heat exhaustion afterward, though. MISS YOU ALREADY!!
So sorry about the heat! We've been dealing with that and it was terror for us too!
I love poster. In fact, I think there may be a copy hanging in our local Imbuss...
I absolutely LOVE your format for your blog. It's a cute idea to do it in letter form and it truly is delightful to read. I love ya, Em!
