15 things that could be fun to do with my nephews

Admittedly, I know very little about babies and small children, but here are things that I think could be fun to do with my nephews now or sometime in the future.

  1. The zoo. I love animals and I think kids do too.
  2. The aquarium. I went with one of them before, but he was so so little that he definitely needs to go many more times.
  3. A petting zoo. They'd have to be older, I know.
  4. Dozin' with the Dinos. Much older, but all little boys go through a dinosaur phase, right?
  5. Drag queen story time. Okay maybe this one is more for me.
  6. The beach. Definitely have to be older.
  7. A bookstore or book sale. Yes, they'd have to be older, but I'd love to share my love of books.
  8. To a movie. I love seeing movies and talking about them, plus there are quite a few good kids' movies. But yes, they'd have to be older.
  9. An escape the room. I know, they'd have to be a lot older, but they'll get there! And then we'll solve puzzles together.
  10. Maggie Daley Park. Every time I see it, I want to play on it so this way I can. They may need to be a bit older (not sure what all is there), but they'll get there before long!
  11. Millennium Park face fountains. Classic Chicago fun, but yeah they'd need to be older.
  12. The Lego Store. Yes, they would need to be older, but this place is awesome. Okay, maybe this one is a bit for me too.
  13. The Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum. There's a butterfly room!
  14. A parade. So many fun things to see!
  15. Ferris wheel. This is one of the few rides I'll actually do, so they can see a lot of whatever is around us. I would wait for them to be older though as right now having babies on a Ferris wheel would stress me out too much.
Of course, these would all have to be approved by their parents, especially because, as I said before, I know so so little about children. But I do know that I want to spend time with my nephews!

I'm angry

I'm angry. And I don't (at the moment) want to be talked out of it. I struggle, often, with expressing or even just sitting with my emotions. I feel like even the photo I chose for this post was more reserved or toned down than how I feel.  But, this is my trying. I'm not going to time this post, just going to write until I feel done, whenever that may be. In this post, I'm going to focus on the anger I feel around my dad and my dad's death. Though, don't get me wrong, I'm also angry about a lot of things going on in my city, in my country, and in the world. My dad chose alcohol over me and my brother. There is no way around this fact. Yes, when I am less angry, I can be more reasonabl and recognize that addiction is a disesase and he didn't have control over it. But, right now, I want to be angry. I want to get to be angry. I want to get to feel my feelings. I don't want to rationalize, I don't want to be reasonable, I don't want to be fair....
