Barkapalooza 2011

Most posts are about our kids, Mikey and Katie, however we do consider ourselves to have a 3rd child, Bailey (our dog).  She will be 5 this December and if it wasn't for her constant shedding, she'd be the perfect dog.  Each year we do something specific just for Bailey.  We took her to Barkapalooza 2010 (only a few months after we moved to Chicago) and vowed to take her to Barkapalooza 2011.  She had so much fun walking/running/pulling with all the other dogs and Mikey was talking up a storm.  He especially enjoyed the puppies.  We took him out of the stroller so he could get a closer look at the puppies and he wouldn't get back in the stroller, so he ended up walking the ENTIRE way around Lisle Community Park.  Impressive.

Here he is checking out the pups up close.

Cute pups!

He did great walking with Daddy and the Dog.
