Butt-Up Nap

Dexter was so exhausted from his time with Scout that he was out for a four hour nap the following day.

New Puppy Friend

Daddy, Dexter, and I went to our friends' house for a BBQ. They have a beautiful weimaraner named Scout. Everyone was a little concerned about how Dexter and Scout would interact but everything turned out wonderfully. Scout and Dexter became fast friends (Rosie the cat was very patient with Dexter who was desperate to have a kitty friend). During dinner, Scout and Dexter ran around and around and around the dinner table. When one would stop, the other would re-initiate the chase.

Navy Pier Fountains

Dexter and Daddy got reprimanded for playing in the water but I managed to get a few good shots before we were ushered away.

Rainforest Cafe

Despite the overpriced corporate atmosphere, Dexter thoroughly enjoyed his meal at the Rainforest Cafe when we went out to a suburban mall so I could use my Macy's gift card (I got a really cute dress).

Another Free Ride for Dexter

Dexy was not happy to have to wait for the bus. He didn't understand why we couldn't get on any old bus. But once our bus showed up and he got a prime seat in the back, he was happy as a clam to ride through the city back to the train station.

Ferris Wheel

We had been lucking out with free tickets for Dexter all day (since he's only 2) but when Ben bought tickets for the ferris wheel at Navy Pier, he was told, "Everyone rides for the same price." No discount for Dexter.

Water Taxi

From the train station, we walked across the river and took a water taxi to Navy Pier.

Taking the Train

We spent a day with Dexter riding a variety of modes of transportation. First, we waited for the train to take us to Chicago.

More Bowling

We spent one of my vacation mornings going bowling. Dexter beat Daddy by 28 points. Daddy beat Dexter in shoe size.
