Chicago

Here's a little looksy at our family trip to Chi-town that we took back in May.  This was Ays's first official trip, and we quickly learned the difference between a trip and a vacation...believe me, there is a difference!  All kidding aside though, Ays was super good and had a blast taking in all the new sights and experiences.

We drove...Ays was excited for the long ride!

First Day in Chicago...getting on the "L," or as Ays called it, "The Big Choo Choo!"

Family pic outside of Shedd's Aquarium. 

He LOVED the penguins.

HA!

Ferry ride from Shedd's to Navy Pier on Lake Michigan

Cutie :)

Love the skyline in this pic :)

On the Ferris Wheel at Navy Pier :)

"The Bean" at Millennium Park!  Ays loved walking all around this checking out his reflection.

The Bean

Fountain at Millennium Park.  It was like a giant water puddle, so, of course, it was an instant hit.

They had these giant screens on each end that projected faces on them.  Cool, but kind of creepy!

He was soaked by the time we left!

Too fun :)

Silliness at the hotel

We spent an afternoon at Lincoln Park Zoo...and it is free to the public.  How amazing is that?!

And no trip to Chicago is complete without a trip to the Sears Tower. (or whatever it is called now)

Standing in the Sky Box that jets out over the city.  It was a little scary, but so freaking cool!!!!

On the way home...we drove it straight thru, and he was a trooper!
