We spent the last days of our trip in Chicago. We drove up there from Van Wert, and went to the Cubs game Monday, then spent Tuesday at the Navy Pier and just walking around the city for a little while. It was a perfect day out so we really got lucky our whole trip with the weather - with all of our outdoor plans, nothing ever got rained out. The first thing we did at the Navy Pier was go up in the huge Ferris Wheel - even Mia went! It was all enclosed, so please don't think we were being stupid for taking her! :) Luke loved it, and wasn't at all afraid of heights. Marc, on the other hand... After that, we just walked around the pier, and then went in to the Children's Museum. There, Luke got to drive an ambulance, play in water, and dig for dinosaur bones. We headed to Michigan Ave next, where we sat down to let Luke catch a nap and I got to go in a few stores. We took a long walk farther into town in hunt of Gino's East Pizza where we ate some good deep dish pizza, and that was about the end of our day. It was definitely worth making that side trip from Ohio, and made the trip home just a little bit shorter.

Did Luke love the Children's museum? The water room and the dinosaur bone digging were Jacob's favorites. Did they still have the body exhibit (explaining how the different systems in the body work). If so, did they still have the "tooting" slide? Jacob and Jenna both loved that!
I DEFINITELY wouldn't have gone up in that ferris wheel. Luke is much braver than me!
Those are all great pix. thanks for sharing them. One of these days i've got to get to Chicago.
