We are having a great time here in Illinois. We arrived Monday night and the kids had a blast playing with my mom's new kittens. Yesterday we went to Chicago and had an AMAZING day. The weather was beautiful. We went to Navy Pier and took a boat ride around Lake Michigan. We then ate lunch where the kids and I enjoyed a Chicago hot dog. We then went to the Chicago Children's Museum. It was so neat and it is kind of hard to explain all the activities they had for the kids. One area it was set up where the kids could make a fort out of blankets and furniture. There was a place where you could build a skyscraper out of these plastic pieces of building material. Our whole family helped build it and it was so much fun. There was a Dinosaur Expedition where they had dinosaur bones covered up and the kids could dig them up. There was so much to do but it would take forever to explain, but the kids favorite area was called Water Ways. They had a room set up with all these different things you could do with water. The kids wore these little rain coats and they had so much fun. I have so many pictures to post so I am doing a few at a time. The ones posted today are from our trip up to Illinois on Monday.
