Chicago

Well, I'm finally getting to catch up on things around the house. We went to Chicago on Friday (yes, we drove), and came back late on Tuesday night. The girls had fun at their 'sleepover' and thanks to my Friend Julie we had an extra night to enjoy our vacation. She took the girls for one night and dropped them off. These photo's are all out of order, but I'll show you a glimpse of our trip. Brodie and Alex went to a football game the first night we were there. Brodie's been asking to go to a football game for a while, so he was pretty excited. We went to Navy Pier and enjoyed some rides (we even convinced Alex to go on the ferris wheel), then we went for a bike ride. You can see the quadcycle below...

This is Brodie enjoying the ride home. The guard at the border was pretty impressed with his set-up (movie's and chips).

Brodie's favorite part of the trip, "The lego store and mini-golf".

We also went to the aquarium and the museum to see the pirate exhibit. The best part of that day was the 'waterfall', that Brodie found to run around in. He didn't mind that he had to get his clothes wet! It was a hot day.

This is the submarine Brodie played in at the aquarium (his favorite part).

All together, it was a fun trip and a much needed time of relaxing and enjoying each others company. The girls are doing great.
