My sister Lauren flew in for the long weekend, and we played hard in Chicago. Talk about seeing the city in a day! My favorite part was going to Cirque Shanghai. It was amazing. There are no pictures that could describe the amazing acrobatic tricks they do and how exciting and fun it is to watch. My jaw dropped through it all, and it must be the best $25 I've ever spent. The kids loved it too. Aubrie often talks about how she wants to be a tightrope walker when she's bigger, and she got to see it in real life for the first time.
We LOVED having Lauren with us and she was the biggest help. I will be surprised if she still wants to ever have children after this weekend. In fact, I'll be surprised if I ever want to have another child after this weekend! More on the drama later. This post is to talk about how fun we had, because we really did. My only disappointment was we didn't make it to the broadway musical 'Wicked' because they were sold out. I'm glad we went because I appreciate Chicago as a really cool city now. Last time we went (in December) I swore I never wanted to go back ever again, and I swore to Dave that I would NEVER move there. It was the coldest I had ever been in my whole life. But in the summer it was beautiful, and Saturday was one of the most perfect days I've had in a long time.

I visited Chicago in December several years ago, and I made the same promises to Michael. Maybe I need to visit in the summer next time.
Loved seeing all the great pictures. That acquarium looks so amazing!
