Chicago Trip

Eric surprised us with a trip to Chicago last week.  It was such a fun little vacation!  It was really fun to be in a big city again and the girls were just awestruck by the tall buildings and loved staying on the 14th floor of our hotel.

We went to the Shedd Aquarium one day.

Scattered around the aquarium were fun "kid" things to do like this penguin habitat, a submarine to play in, a canoe to "fish" in.  The girls favorite thing was a Dora 4D movie experience.  A huge hit!

The next day we went to the Childrens Museum on Navy Pier.  Another hit!  We spent many, many hours there! :)  I was a little surprised at the stations that were their favorite.  They loved the fire truck, hose and pole.

Their other favorite was this 'construction site'.  Madi spent a good hour building this little chair with the help of daddy.  Look it even works!

And Taylor was more than content to sit and twist the screws in.  Although she didnt have a bolt on the other end so they never actually did anything, just around and around and around.  Every once in a while she would say, "Its almost done, Mommy!"  Ha Ha!  She was happy and didnt want ANY help!
