A day in Chicago

We sure have enjoyed our trips to Chicago! Yesterday was no different. :) Finn said he wants to live in Chicago. 

Settling in on the 2+ hour train ride. 

We made it into the city. Here we're taking a water taxi to the Navy Pier, to take the boys to the Children's Museum. 

The huge Ferris wheel on the Navy Pier. 

Almost at the top of the Ferris wheel. The boys are enjoying themselves. I am not. :/

Dinner at the Chicago Pizza & Oven Grinder Company. Home of pizza pot pies. Yum!

The bean!  Such a pretty, cool Spring day. And not a cloud in the sky!

Working in the Tinkering Lab at the Children's Museum. 

Give a boy a hammer and he will find that everything he encounters needs pounding! 

Ah hoy, matey!  Our pirates are fearless!

A glimpse into our future? The boys loved this room at the Children's Museum!  They crawled under smoke in a house, went down the fireman's pole, drove the fire truck, talked on the intercom between the HQ and truck, and put out fires in the windows!  It was hilarious listening to Finn on the intercom. "Cullen this is Firefighter Finn, we need your help now, now, now! Go to the fire and make a left. Put it out!" Hahaha!
