We had a lot of fun! We went to a park for lunch, a farm/children's museum for play time, the zoo for more play time and a yummy food place called Mello's for dinner. We had some of our good friends with us so it was double fun!
Things to remember from this trip:
1. Don't park your car in a possible tow away zone. (we didn't.)
2. Bring head and hand gear to stay warm when it is supposed to be in the 30s and you plan to be outside all day.
3. Chicago style pizza might be yummy but not wait-an-hour-and-a-half-to-eat-it yummy.
4. Small restaurants with small corners to pile 5 kids and 4 adults into taste super yummy and probably better than that expensive pizza anyway!
5. Go with friends. They provide much more entertainment.
6. Heidi - you can't have that shake. Not going to happen.
7. Jayden - you just have to walk. :)
8. Bring a baby carrier or a double stroller next time you plan to walk around Chicago. Otherwise, you will end up holding Emma and pushing Riya in the stroller while Jayden rides on John's back.
9. Get a sugar crystal pop. Indulge a little.
10. Riya's candy stick will last the entire trip to the zoo. She carefully licked and savored every bit of it.
Just today I was thinking about how much money we had to pay for our tow.(the one that never happened!) :)Haha! I must've had a dream about it.:) I still need to get pictures from you. :)
