We were all excited to start summer off with a trip to Chicago! We woke up on Saturday morning and headed on down to the airport. I took lots of pictures on this trip, but just have condensed them down mostly into collages for here.
Here's a few pictures from our first day. Mia broke out her summer workbook while we were still at the airport; this girl loves to do "homework!" Both girls absolutely love Taz the dog, and they played with her constantly. Judging by the smile on her face, I think she enjoyed it too! We were all glad to see Nick and Brock again; the girls couldn't get enough of them. We headed over to the Maggie Daly playground where Mia had a blast rock climbing; she loves this course!
On Sunday morning, we made a beeline to the American Girl store after breakfast. Lily had worked hard to earn and save up her money to buy the "Lea Clark" doll of the year. She was so proud!
On Sunday afternoon we visited the Lincoln Park Zoo which is always a treat. It was amazingly beautiful weather too, so this was a great activity.
On Sunday evening, Ryan and I enjoyed a date night out at Bavette's while David and Jan kept the girls. Yum!
On Monday morning we all took it easy, but then Jan, Brock, the girls and I spend several hours at the Nature Museum. We had never been before, and it was fabulous! We all really loved the butterfly conservatory. Mia had one land on her finger and stay there for almost 10 minutes which she made her so happy. There were lots of fascinating exhibits; what a fun afternoon!
We were sad to leave, but alas, we had to on Tuesday morning. Mia was pretty excited to play co-pilot as we got on the plane. How cool is it that Delta let her sit up in the seat?!
It was another wonderful trip to Chicago. We love this city and we really love the people there!
