We enjoyed a long weekend in the Windy City with Aunt Sandy...here are the highlights
 |
| We drove in on a rainy night. I love the city lights at night. "Some Gave All" was illuminated on one of the buildings. |
 |
| A cafe au lait Aunt Sandy style that inspired us purchase a milk frother...and coffee will never be the same! |
 |
| Sunglasses...our newest summer accessory! |
 |
| Maggie Daley playground - so much fun! |
 |
| This is the nest swing...the one where the dad's push the kids and the mom's stand back and yell "that's high enough!" |
 |
| Break by the bean (but we know it is really "cloud gate!") |
 |
| Waiting for the Memorial Day parade to start |
 |
| The girls were able to tour a traveling exhibit of "Dressing Downton" that had costumes from Downton Abbey. It was so awesome! |
 |
| Does anyone do flowers better than Chicago? Seriously, so beautiful! |
 |
| The new ferris wheel at Navy Pier - you get to go around 3 times! |
 |
| Cafe au lait for the adults, pancakes with sprinkles and M&M's for the kids! |
 |
| Brandon manages to find the smaller animal on the carousel to ride! |
 |
| Traveler Tip: Skip the train ride at the Lincoln Park Zoo! |
 |
| Awesome zoo and the perfect place for a scavenger hunt! |
 |
| Keeping with the animal theme for the day we had lunch at Rain Forest Cafe and received large balloon creations! |
 |
| Architectural boat tour. Poor Brandon was suffering badly with his allergies |
 |
| The kids got to meet some CFD fire fighters and got to sit in the truck! As did Elizabeth's three palace pets. |
