A lovely vacation, round 1


We took these clowns to the big city of Chicago.


The main purpose of the visit was to see my brother Spencer and his cute family who were passing through during their big move cross-country.


Ellie kept saying "the buildings are so tall, they go all the way up to heaven!"


Teyah's favorite part was definitely the "choo choo trains."


Dave loves the view of city landscapes. This view of Chicago from the Adler Planetarium is so perfect it looks like a movie backdrop!


We had the treat of spending a day with our T-bird friends the Harkers!


We spent most of our time at the fabulous museums. The Museum of Science and Industry was my favorite.


We spent an entire day there and still didn't see it all!


A room full of mirrors is a little girl's dream come true!


We also enjoyed the Field Museum.


We spent time at Navy Pier and saw Cirque Shanghai again, which impressed us just as much the second time.


Daddy encouraged the pic of the wheelbarrow of faux poo -- at least the adorable girls make it a perfectly balanced picture.

Twirling Tea cups


Nothing better than spinning the tea cups on a Saturday afternoon.
