Excitement in the Park

The Illinois State Treasurer and gubernatorial candidate Judy Topinka visited our seedy little burg of Frankfort today. She was here to speak about property tax relief. While I certainly could use some of that, the truly exciting part was that her helicopter landed across the street from our house. Just try and keep a five year old (and her parents) away from a helicopter! The pilot was very accommodating and more than happy to let one little girl climb all around the helicopter. He even answered every "What does this button do?" with a patient answer. We had to tear Emma away.
