From Mario's to Harpoon

There is a wonderful Italian Lemonade (aka Italian Ice) stand on Taylor Street in the city. It opens May 1 and closes in September. All summer long, Joe and I would walk there and get a tasty treat to satisfy my pregnancy cravings. Now, our son has developed a love for Mario's too.

Also chronicled pictorially is a father teaching his son about beer. ;-) Harpoon Brewery was a favorite of ours while we lived in Boston, and they have recently started to distribute to Chicago. See Colby below picking out his very own IPA.

Happy May to all! xo, The Thompson's
