During one of those visits, we visited Millennium Park.
The Cloud Gate was my favorite there.
Its mirror-like surface reflects Chicago skyline, which makes it a perfect place to take pictures of you with the skyline in the background.
You can even walk under it to take a picture of your own reflection, since it is shaped like a bean.
And this is what you you see if you look up standing under it.
We did get a bit carried away with the camera, which is nothing new. Happens to me all the time. Dimples, though, does not share my obsession, I mean passion for taking pictures. She got bored.
Dimples: This is embarrassing.
Me: What is?
Did she just declare at 4 years of age that her Mom embarrasses her? I am not yet ready for that. The kid was going to get a lecture.
Dimples: Sitting in a baby stroller. For a long time!
Well, if she had not been running around and complaining about getting tired, I would not have strapped her in her baby sister's stroller, would I?
I told her she should not let things embarrass her so easily. But she did have a point.
So we took her to another attraction at the park, The Crown Fountain.
She had a great time getting drenched in the water flowing out of strange people's mouths. Everyone has a different definition of embarrassing, it seems.For more Sundays in my City from around the world, visit Unknown Mami.
