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!

15 things you'll think about during your dad's latest hospital stay

This is meant to be a related piece to "15 things to do in your dad's hospital room," "15 Things You Find in Your Dad's Hospice Room," and "15 Things You Find When You Clean Out Your Dad’s Apartment" .  The Christmas lights at the nurse's station that should really have been switched for saccharine cupids by now What team decided to hang up a clearly labeled DRAFT safety sign Who comes up with the aliases they seem to use for trauma patients and how they decided on Redstone for your dad That his skin either looks like a bruised elephant or like sickeningly conflicting colors of thin paper mache Where you can possibly get food--you're shaky The patient in the ER somewhere with a lot of ammo, but no gun, or so they say Why the staff is being so happily loud and swearing...it feels discordant The used bandaid and gauze that are left on the floor of his ER room as he moves to his hospital room...the last proof he was there Having to do this a...

15 facts about my dad

Just been thinking about some lighthearted facts I know about my dad lately. When he was young, he had a goldfish named Lysander He introduced me to Star Trek At Christmas, he would tear up at It's a Wonderful Life He used to send me articles from his Yahoo email account that he thought I'd like We used to play a game called "Nightmare" where he would lie down and we'd jump around (and sometimes on) him He would clip possible recipes for us to try out of newspapers and magazines We bought him a Paddington Bear to take on trips because we feared he'd be lonely and he always took it He had teddy bears for three different holidays We once had such a hilariously difficult time building a gingerbread house that when some frosting ended up on the counter, I plopped a gumdrop on it and we laughed until we cried He and his sister were born about 11 months apart We would try recipes from Top Chef He kept gifts I made him, even when they weren't great At Christmas, ...
