The Panos girls made another February trip to visit family in Chicago! We enjoyed some lovely views from the plane including sunset over Lake Michigan and downtown Chi-town.
This flight was extra-pleasant as we made friends with a family at the airport and Z enjoyed having a buddy to sit with!
Typical freezing and snowing this time of year, we were greeted by a MidWest heatwave.
It was a beautiful, warm day with Z's cousins at Lincoln Park Zoo!
Happy sisters in the City.
Happy tiger enjoying the sun.
Z played "little mother" to cousin A, guiding her by the hand.
Beautiful view from the impressive Maggie Daley Park. Just watch your kids like a hawk; it gets busy!
