8.19.09: Baggo




So if living in Wrigleyville for three years taught us one thing, it was the importance of Cub fans playing Baggo (the beanbag toss game). My sister and Rob got us our very own Baggo set a couple years ago and finally in this visit we got to play the game with them. There is a park about one block away so we all grabbed either a kid, the game or the cameras/water and walked over to the park. Bonnie, Kelly and I wore the kids in our wraps and enjoyed the extra challenge of playing the game WITH a kid attached. It was a blast and nice to know that we could get out of the house with the girls via walking - of course we need three adults, but that is a separate issue. The park was wonderful, the temperature was warm and I think everyone really enjoyed the fresh air after days of travelling and packing/unpacking. The girls sure do love those wraps, they fall asleep almost instantly every time. I am going to be very sad when they finally outgrow them - although my back may give out first - who knows.

We also enjoyed a visit from Brant's cousins (Soren and Mona), their kids (Devin and Ian), and Aunt Joan. They live in the LA area so it was wonderful to get together with them so early after our arrival to this new city. LA already seems more like home since we have relatives nearby.
