Boskovich Boys hit Chicago

Stephen and Luke went on a boys trip to Chicago, our old stomping grounds,  in July and hit all the hot spots.  

Luke in front of the Hancock Building.   I showed Addison this picture when Stephen texted it to me while they were gone.  I told Addison, "Look at Luke in front of that super tall building!"  Addison replied, "Wait, momma.  What is Luke holding?  Are those gummy worms?  Mom, those are totally gummy worms.  I want gummy worms."

They had to hit the big Lego Store.

Stephen carried on the tradition in his family of bringing his son to the sacred Wrigley Field for a Cubs game.  His father, and his father before him had done the same thing.

My boys, all set for the Cubs game in the bleacher section, the best place to sit at Wrigley.

Luke awaiting a big catch.  They got to the field early for home run practice and a ball came right to them, but daddy was busy eating a hot dog and missed the ball.  It actually hit his hot dog, the ball even had ketchup on it when the guy down the bleachers retrieved it.  

But guess what, left fielder for the Cubs, Alfonso Soriano, must have seen this cutie smile and tossed Luke the ball during the game.  And this one didn't even have ketchup on it!

Yay Luke!

After Chicago, the boys went to Schererville, IN where Stephen grew up.  This is in front of the house he grew up in and the house we then lived in and brought Amelia and Luke home from the hospital to. The tree Luke is standing under was a tiny little sapling in an envelope that Stephen sent in for from a box of Lucky Charms when he was around Luke's age.  It is enormous now!  I was so glad the new owners have not cut it down.

Luke and Stephen visited with Stephen's Grandma, Luke's Great-Grandma.  Because I was not there to  direct the picture taking, this was it.  Although he and Luke stayed with sweet Auntie Sue, visited with his LIFELONG friend Jeff and his family, our awesome friends the Ruzas...pictures?  Nada.  Sigh.  Boys, gotta love them.
