Along came a Zombie….
A few weeks ago, there was a Zombie on the Southside of Chicago……… Little Tech Girl was able to snag a photo of this one before he was squashed by this guy (pun intended lol)…… Fortunately the children were not afraid and did what was necessary to get rid of the zombie, while being protected…
