Day 5 - To the Field Museum!












We ventured to the Field Museum. What a huge place it is!! We could have stayed all day, but enjoyed a few hours before the girls got tired. We had fun in the Underground Adventure where you shrink down under the ground, playing in the Children's playlab, seeing the mummies, and animals!

Day 4 in Chicago








We went to the Planetarium and had a blast! They just opened a new children's exhibit called Planet Explorers, where the kids can pretend to be astronauts and launch rockets, travel to a new planet, build things on the new planet, etc. Olivia and Ali loved exploring this area, and Olivia really liked watching the Seasame Street Movie about the moon!

Chicago - Day 3






For the 3rd day in Chicago, we decided to go to Shedd Acquarium. We had an awesome time looking at the dolphins, whales, penguins, and fish! Olivia is still talking about seeing the dolphins! Plus, Ali and I got a little shopping in that afternoon while the girls took naps!

Chicago - Day 2
















On our 2nd day in Chicago, we walked to the Hancock Observatory and saw the awesome views of the city from overhead. It was a clear day, and we were once again amazed by the great building and beautiful lake. Olivia really liked to look out the windows and really loved washing the windows in the playarea (so did Frank!). Ali liked going out on the Skywalk. After that, we walked to Navy Pier. We had fun playing at the Children's Museum, and Frank, Ali, and Olivia rode on the Ferris Wheel.

Chicago - Day 1






After we arrived in Chicago, we ate at the Rain Forest Cafe. Olivia and Ali liked all the animals, but Olivia was a little scared as she thought they were real! Then, since it was a beautiful day, we took a walk around the city and in Millineum Park. We all had fun looking at our reflections in the kidney bean sculpture. It was a great day!

Chicago - Here we come!






For Spring Break, we traveled to Chicago by train. Olivia loved riding the train!

Happy Easter!








Happy Easter...well a little late. We traveled to Chicago on Easter, but had a few days prior to spend with family. Olivia loved dying Easter eggs with Grandma and Ali. Stella didn't mind watching either! We hope that everyone had a wonderful holiday!
