In July, we met up with some of our best friends for a fun long weekend in Chicago. I love getting away and spending a few days somewhere different than where we live. Chicago never disappoints.
Our first stop was the Shedd aquarium. We hadn't been there for years, so none of our kids remembered it. It was so much fun!
The dolphin show was a huge hit with everyone.
Everly adores Ellison, and even though we only see them a couple times a year at most, she talks about Ellison all the time. She even thinks that Ellison is her cousin. How sweet is that?!
Touching the sting rays is always fun!
How the dads felt after chasing 7 kids around a crowded museum for hours.
How the littlest kids felt after waking around the city for hours. Chicago is exhausting when you have little legs.
No kids can resist splashing in the fountain!
We recreated these pictures we took of the boys 7 years ago when we at the same fountain. I think they turned out awesome!
Fun pictures at The Bean
This park is so much fun, but we were all a little tired by the time we got to it. Next time we'll have to start there.
The next day we spent at this super fun water park!
We took a fun walk along the river
The girls put these pretty flowers in Everly's braid so she could feel like Rapunzel
We ended our trip with a stop at this fun butterfly garden. It was so much fun to visit with our friends, and make memories as a family!
