Chicago

We had an awesome time in Chicago visiting Bubba this weekend! The drive even went well... Amy & I (and our four children!) had a pretty peaceful ride down... the way back was a little crazier, but we made it! Here is a quick rundown of our activities that we were able to do...

Thursday: Carl & Bubba came to the hotel... we had pizza, swam, and then when the kids went to bed we had Margarita's and played euchre.

Friday: Bubba & US went to the Woodfield mall. We played there, got pretzels and then met Betts & Pa for lunch an Bouna, and went to Legoland... which Jacob LOVED! We got to see so many awesome lego structures, watch a 4D Bob the Builder Movie, see how Lego's are made, ride a glider, play, go on a rollercoaster ride... and play with lego's! That evening we went to dinner and then met up with Aunt Kathy & Uncle Joe!

Saturday: We took the L (the train) and then a water taxi to Navy Pier to go to the Hands-On Children's Museum (which was AWESOME!), the kids had lunch at M's and then we walked down the pier to see the boats. We then got to ride the water taxi & L back... oh boy did the kids love that! Saturday evening we went to dinner at Pilot Pete's (a restaurant on the runway of Schaumburg airport) with Carl! (good job Carl on that find!). Jacob & Grace were so excited about the plane seats in the waiting area.... and we even got to see a few plans land/take-off.

We then headed back to the mall to meet up with Aunt Kathy, Uncle Joe, Scott, Lindsey, & Jackson for a little play time and ice cream! (unfortunately we also lost Alexis' bonnet there!)

Sunday: we headed home... it was a good time, can't wait to do it again!!
