Play Date

This week has been rough at the Peterson house as Olivia has been fighting a stomach virus. We're still not over with it...hopefully soon. However, we had a great last weekend as our neighbor Alex came to play with Olivia. They even held hands...thanks to mom and dad!!!

Day 5...Time to come home

On our last day, we went to the Museum of Science and Industry. Then, we stopped at a little chocolate shop and had great hot chocolate!! Although that hot chocolate almost made us miss our train home. We made it aboard with 3 minutes to spare!!! We must have been a sight with 3 suitcases, a stroller, and a baby strapped in the backpack running through Union Station!! We had an awesome trip and can't wait until the next one. Olivia enjoyed riding in the stroller, shopping, and of course all the museums!!!

Day 4 in Chicago

Grandma and Grandpa Conner came and joined the fun today!! We traveled around the city, got caught in the freezing ran, and ate some great Chicago pizza and some steak!! Plus, Olivia put on her swimsuit and went swimming with daddy for the first time. She kind of liked it...maybe she'll like it better next time.

Day 3

Olivia went to the planetarium and the Field Museum before having dinner at a tapas restaurant with Sarah's friends Julie and Dan (who live in a suburb of Chicago). What a busy day!!

Day 2 (Happy 6 month b-day!)

Olivia went and swam with all the big and little fishes at the acquirium. Plus, she got to eat at the House of Blues for a special 6 month birthday dinner...plus chocolate cake at the hotel!

Day 1 in Chicago!!

Olivia took her first vacation...spring break in Chicago. We rode the train from Kalamzoo. On Monday (day 1), we walked around town, ate at the Cheesecake Factory, and saw the big town from the Observatory!!
