Captain's Blog: Chicago Trip :: Day 3 :: Children's Museum

Time to climb the tires!

















While little Finn figures out the wonderful world of mirrors...









Then...the bull digger is found...





















We then figured out we wanted to be firemen...





















Captain's Blog: Chicago Trip :: Day 3 :: Apple Festival

There wasn't a lot of apples, but we may have run into....LLAMA LLAMA!









Look at how intense this kid is when listening to these stories.









Sitting, listening...things got tense...so it was now time for youth yoga...stretch one, stretch two!









Captain's Blog: Chicago Trip :: Day 3 :: Lots of Fun!

What does everyday start with? BREAKFAST! Right down from our condo was a great breakfast place that everyone (especially Finn) really enjoyed.



















Then...we had to decide where to go!?!










And...everyone agreed...to the Apple Festival!

Captain's Blog: Chicago Trip :: Day 2 :: Rainforest Cafe

We took the kids to Rainforest Cafe to see the cool animals and fish and get a bite to eat. At this point of the day, things were getting tricky due to lack of sleep. The gecko was a big hit for Sammy and Stella...Connor on the other hand, had to keep an eye on that 'thing'. We finished dinner with a birthday doughnut celebration for the 3 year old!

















































Captain's Blog: Chicago Trip :: Day 2 :: The Ferris Wheel

First stop was the Navy Pier where we wandered on and up the big Ferris Wheel. Some of us in the family (Mom) weren't reeeeeaaal excited, but everyone sucked it up and jumped on for a ride.


























Next up was a train ride for Sammy and Connor...look at how much fun these two had on this ride!
