Chicago Trip: Part 1

In July, we took a family vacation to Chicago.  We left on a Friday evening and returned Monday afternoon. We stayed downtown near the Hancock building off Michigan Ave.  Our plan involved walking quite a bit, going to Millennium Park to a family fun event, checking out a French market, meeting up with several friends, walking through the American Girl store (for my nostalgic sake) and the big reason for the trip:  visit the Shedd Aquarium.  Gary and I were quite excited ourselves for the Shedd, partly for ourselves and partly because we knew Eliza would love it!  And she did.  We spent over 5 hours at the Shedd on Sunday, and she really enjoyed it and even took a nice nap for us while we ate lunch and relaxed.

Thank you Josh & Lauren, Linnea, and Vanessa for hanging out with us!  We wish we could do that more often.

I'll let pictures do the rest of the talking!
Ready for the day!

Cool girls

Pretty girl!
Meeting a new friend at the family fun event at Millennium Park
Crouching seems like a fun thing to do
The two of them stayed crouched down for an entire song!
Reading a book in the giant chair
Playing in the crayons
This is so much fun!
At the Bean
Looking at our reflection
Touching the baby!
What is this green stuff?!  

Playing in soft grass is fun!

Watching the Zumba in the park class going on
due to the all the pictures we want to share, the rest will be in the next post!
