August - Cole's 10th bday, 1st day of school, Chicago

We had an awesome time celebrating Cole's 10th birthday! He had a very special birthday party - a limo picked up him and his friends (and Craig, Max and I) and took them on a scavenger hunt that ended up at Winstead's on the Plaza for skyscraper shakes and burgers. 

 Gatorade toast!

 First clue on basketball goal at school

 Second clue was at Spin Pizza, 3rd clue at Fluffy Fresh donuts

 We got Cole this Steelers jersey because he has been a Steelers fan ever since he found out Craig's great-uncle played for the Steelers. We don't know his number, but we put "45" on it because that was the year he was drafted.

 Last stop - party favors at candy store on the Plaza
