Chicago Trip

We had a lot of fun on our trip to Chicago. We left here on Thursday night around 5:30. We did not get into Chicago until around 8:30 local time because we hit some really heavy snow on the way down there. Thankfully we made it in safe and sound. Here is a picture of Daniel in the car. He had his headphones on to listen to his movie that he was watching, and he was drinking out of my water bottle.



We decided to stop and eat at Steak n Shake for dinner. Monica is getting to the age where she wants to be up where everyone else is when we are out eating. When they brought her a highchair they also brought her a hat, doesn't she look cute?



Here we are back in the car. Daniel wanted to watch the rest of his movie and wear his hat from Steak n Shake. Doesn't he look cute too???



Our friends in Chicago were very gracious to let us stay at their house while they were gone. We had a lot of fun playing in the yard. Here are a few pictures of the kids playing on the fort. Monica loved being outside. The poor baby does not know what it is like to play outside, since she was born right before the winter.







On Saturday we went downtown Chicago. Here is a picture of the new Trump building. It looks like they are almost done.



We went down to the Navy Pier. It is so much fun there! They had a Spring Family day and had a lot of fun activities for Daniel.




Here is a great picture of the kids in front of the city.



This is one of the bouncy things that they had inside the crystal gardens that Daniel played on.


Here is Daniel inside the bouncy castle.


This was a circus train that Daniel loved climbing through. It was like a little obstacle course. He went through this thing at least 50 times!



Here is Daniel on another bouncy thing.


Here Daniel was meeting Patch. Daniel thought it was cool because Patch had a friend named Sunny Bunny! How ironic!



Here is a picture of Daniel riding on the indoor train. There is also a video of it below the picture.






Here is my son showing off his pitching arm! Pretty good eh?



This was one of the entertainers that they had there. Daniel thought he was the funniest guy in the whole world!



After we were done inside we went out to walk around the Pier. I wanted to go on the Farris Wheel so I convinced Daniel to go with me. He was not scared until we got to the top. Here are pictures from our trip up the wheel, and a video as well.
