We HEART Chicago

Well blogger is being lame and won't let me change the order of pics...sorry!

The post is at the bottom because it's not letting me copy and paste it up here.

They finally passed out on the drive home!



My friend Val and I!

Em enjoying her bday ice cream :)

On the ferris wheel

Banana and Kyle in her favorite room. It had tons of interactive water displays, and it was pretty awesome.

Em being too silly

Running Man was in heaven with this giant chess set. Banana helped him set it up, and she actually got all of the pieces in the right spots!

Em had a great bday! We celebrated by going to Chicago, and it was so fun. We spent our time on Navy Pier and at the Chicago Children's Museum. That place is HUGE! There are three stories that are just packed with things to do. I think Running Man, Kyle and I had just as much fun as the kids. They had some great rooms that were designed for younger babies, so were able to let her crawl around most of the time. Great for her...not so great for her clothes :) Her knees and hands were black by the end of the day. The pier was pretty neat, and our favorite part was the ferris wheel. Kind of expensive for such a short ride, but way worth it cuz the girls LOVED it! Banana just squealed the whole time, and Em was trying to crawl out and get to the ppl in the next carriage thing. They were all smiles the whole time. I got to meet up with one of best friends from HS Val who lives in Chicago. We haven't seen each other in probably six or seven years, and it felt like no time had passed at all. She was always someone that was so easy to talk to and it was great to see that that hadn't changed one bit. There was a lot more we wanted to do, but we were only there for one day and it started raining in the afternoon so we decided to head home. We can't wait to head back.

My mom, brother and soon to be SIL are coming into town tomorrow and we can't wait!! We are having a little party for Em, and Banana has her recital on Saturday so I promise a lot more pics soon!
