Chicago vacation - July 12, 2008

On Saturday before Daddy left for the Nascar race we all went to a big garden where people are planted. It's called a cemetery.

Al Capone was planted here. Daddy said he was a bad guy. Just think, he was a little baby like me once. I wonder what made him bad?

Here is a crypt of a whole family of bad people, the Genna's. I guess they didn't want to be planted so they made this outhouse.

I wonder if this is as close to heaven as this bad guy will ever get? This is Dean O'Banion. If I don't eat my vegetables does that make me a bad baby? Does that mean I'll be a bad guy oneday? I hope not.

The mausoleum is a place where lots of people are filed away instead of planted. This one has over 30,000 people!!

After Daddy left for the race, Momma and I went across town to see the Garfield Park Conservatory.

We saw a lot of flowers and this one had a bee on it so we didn't touch it.

I like these bushes. Momma said they are boxwoods but they don't look anything like a box or wood. I wonder what they taste like?

How cool!!! Fish.

This is really confusing. This is called a Bird of Paradise but it can't fly!!!

After leaving the Conservatory we went to the other side of Chicago shopping. We really just went looking.

I thought this was a hugh dog but Momma said it is a horse. Wow!!! It's big.

I wanted something from here but thought about how many calories each treat had in it so I didn't get anything. (Was that me or Momma thinking that?)
