Chicago!

After dropping Nathan off in Nauvoo, we drove to Chicago because Paul needed to be there on a business trip.  Shelly and Clark were really good sports and let us stay with them for 5 days while Paul worked. We loved visiting Chicago!

Making sand turtles at the park near the Van Den Berghe's apartment.

Taking a break on the bike path back from the park.

Eating real Chicago pizza.

Fun day at the zoo.

Shelly and Clark showed us some of Chicago's landmarks at the Millenium Park, like this cool stainless steel "bean" sculpture.

 

The girls liked splashing in the fountains.

Taegan became a paleontologist at the Chicago Children's Museum.

Getting ready to ride the ferris wheel at Navy Pier Park.

I think our girls enjoyed the violence at the Medieval times dinner a little too much.

Enjoying a medieval feast while waiting for the jousting to begin. (Our knight didn't win.)
