Chicago

We spent the first part of Spring Break in Chicago as a family. Our boys had never been before and it had been awhile since Luke or I had been there either. We stayed downtown close to everything and the boys had a blast. I think there favorite part was staying in a hotel :)

 

The boys packed up and ready for the trip

 

We had lunch at Navy Pier when we got in town and then walked around for a bit. It was sunny and a little on the cool side, but nice enough to be out.

 

 

Later that afternoon, after swimming in the hotel pool, we went to the Willis Tower. A lot of people had that idea, so we waited awhile, but the boys really loved it once we went up. They both even stepped out on "the ledge" of glass and looked down! Yikes!

 

The next day after breakfast we headed to Shedd Aquarium. This was for sure Cohen's favorite part of the trip. What a cool place with so many cool animals!

 

 

 

The penguins were Cohen's favorite

 

 

I thought the Beluga Whale was pretty cool

 

They have a really cool polar play area too

Crew loved all the buttons and knobs!

 

 

 

And looking at the fishes

 

 

Later that afternoon we walked down Michigan Avenue. It was gorgeous that day! We hit up the Lego Store

 

 

The Hershey's store was a hit for Cam...we stopped at a pizza place for lunch and just really enjoyed the day!

 

Walking down Michigan Ave.

 

 

That evening was the big event...The Bulls game! Cam could hardly contain himself all day asking when it was time to head that way. We got there early so we could take it all in and got to see Joakim Noah warm up!

 

 

We had amazing seats...row 11!

 

 

 

 

This little turkey stayed up for the entire game!

 

 

The boys had a great time and the Bulls won!

 

 

Whew...it was a great trip! We enjoyed the rest of our week off relaxing!
