A Day in the Windy City

Saturday we took at trip to Chicago to get Sean's viola bow rehaired. The shop is located in downtown Chicago, so we thought we would make a day of it and take the kids to visit some landmarks of the city. Of course, we started off walking...



It didn't take long for me to spot a photo opportunity in front of the courthouse...



Evan was very amused by his new carseat toy. He was a very good boy all day...



Shortly after arriving, we saw a Buick commercial being filmed. That was pretty cool...





We also thought it was fun watching the window washers....we are a bunch of easily entertained people...



There is a McDonalds on every corner, so we thought it would be appropriate to go in for a snack and restroom break. I was surprised that the bathrooms were so clean...



Then it was off to the Sear's Tower, or newly renamed, Willis Tower Skydeck. Stepping out on that glass ledge was CRAZY!!!





















We were also able to get a picture by the Chicago River...



We enjoyed our mid-day meal at Bubba Gump's Shrimp House....YUM, YUM, YUM!!!



This is how we all felt after eating our delicious food...



We also took another picture by Lake Michigan...



And the kids enjoyed the Chicago Maze...



We thought this sculpture was interesting...



A picture of the kids with Chicago in the distance...



We couldn't leave the city without a ride on the ferris wheel...









We had a wonderful time, and yes, we managed with all the kiddos! We figure this was just the trial run for our New York trip in October....can't wait for that!!
