Bucket List: Last Cubs Game (until we went to another last cubs game)

Once you know you are leaving for a really, really long time, the bucket list starts growing. Obviously the cubs made the list - when we lived next to Wrigley we frequented games on a weekly basis.

Ferris Bueller's Day Off (FBDO) is a tradition at Kellogg. There are no classes on Wednesday at Kellogg, well almost no classes, so the whole school plays hookie, kind of, and goes to a cubs game in April. Nothing like 800 of your closest friends taking over Wrigley.  

Last greasy spoon breakfast at salt and pepper - I had two orders of pancakes, obviously.

Chris, the first base coach

It was also freezing, so most of our time was spent on the back deck rather than actually watching the game. This is a must hang out place before the game with all the old timers, if you are catching a game! I have never seen it this crowded, ever.  

 

The most Crossfit-esk photo Chris has ever taken

Jules also had Beth in from Sydney - we will definitely see more of her in OZ.  She got the real kellogg experience!

After the games lots of 50 cent beers were consumed at Vines. One of my all time favorite patios before and after a game. And no cubs game is complete without a stop to Sluggers. Sadly, there is no photo documentation. 

Bone Crusher Heads to Arizona

Despite my mom rolling Bone Crusher's face up in the window on the way to the airport, I think he is in good hands.  But seriously, thanks Mom for taking the little wee-man to Arizona. She even bought him a little pool to keep cool :)

The trip to the airport was easy. He got though security easily and was just a clam happy boy - I was more nervous than he was!

Travel crate, not the biggest fan

Little dude waiting to board, he was so calm

There was a Mom with 6 kids and he was very interested in the crying infant 

Bone's first flight was on the Southwest Penguin flight....I know he is just a dog, I don't need to be reminded :)  

The flight was 4 hours and my mom said he didn't make a peep.  Thanks Mama!  And no Lisa, Wendy, Van and Garrett you can't keep this one!
