We took off early Sunday morning on the 29th and headed straight to Shedd Aquarium. There was about a 1/2 hour wait to get in, so the kids and I explored while Adam waited in line. They were very impressed by the “ocean!” (Lake Michigan)
Diver in the tank feeding the fish
The jellyfish were my favorite!
My friend Lindsay was out of town and offered to let us stay in her condo while we were in Chicago. It was PERFECT! Only a 1/2 mile from Wrigley and 1/2 block from the train station. The kids enjoyed breakfast on the balcony.
First ride on the “El!” They were pumped! It was full of commuters on the way there and Brevin couldn’t get over why no one was talking
The afternoon at the beach turned out to one of the best of the trip. We could have spent even more time there. Adam and Brevin played catch in the water and Jaeley and I built sand castles.
Trip to the Willis Tower- high point in the United States. Eeek! I couldn’t go out on this ledge. Actually, I think Adam did convince me to stand on it for the picture…see my feet in the corner?
Then came the big event- and the really reason for the Chicago detour….the kids’ first Cubs game! Here Adam and Brevin stay busy marking the score card, while Jaeley gets to work on a bag of peanuts
On to Wisconsin Dells where we stayed at The Wilderness. It was a kid’s (and Adam’s) dream! We did nothing but waterparks for 4 days straight. And this was the only pic I got-Brevin’s feet splashing into the water. Show’s how much fun we had
We stayed with Nailors, which was probably the best part of the trip! The kids got along so well- Brevin and Jaeley even started called Copper, Maggie, and Wesley their cousins. Olympics were on, so the adults stayed up and watched that after the kids went to bed. Great trip with great friends.
