Chicago...

We had a wonderful trip to Chicago.  It was the first real trip with just our family so needless to say we were very excited!

Two excited girls!

Naturally our flight out of Manhattan was delayed! So we had some fun while we waited.

Our first night we had some AMAZING pizza!

After dinner we walked around Michigan Avenue.

On Thursday we hit up the Children's Museum which the kids LOVED!

The kids LOVED the comedy hour at the Children's museum.  They kept getting back in line to tell more jokes!

Miss Claire had just as much fun as the big kids!

That night we hit the American Girl store. Aubrey purchased Sage and then we had dinner with the dolls. It was an expensive evening but the memories are worth every dime!

They let Claire borrow a baby for dinner.  She loved feeding her!

Colten really didn't complain as much as I thought he might!

Of course we had to hit up the Disney store as well!

On Friday we rode the train to the zoo!  

We LOVED it.  They had a dinosaur exibit that was REALLY neat.  

Our family photo from the trip!

That night we went and ate on Michigan Avenue again and hit the Hershey's store after!

The kids wanted their pictures taken!

This one makes me laugh!  On Saturday we went to Lincoln Park and walked around.

Of course there is a zoo there too.

After that we walked to the beach.  We didn't have swim suits but the kids didn't let that stop them!

Claire decided she had had enough fun and feel asleep in the stroller.  The rest of us enjoyed some ice cream!

I think we wore them out!
