Chicago Trip - Summer 2017

We ventured to Chicago this past weekend to visit friends and family. It was a BUSY weekend and we are all exhausted today but we had a blast. We spent Friday night at Jill and Jeff's (with John and Jaxson) and Rachel joined us as well with her kids Lily and Max. The kids loved playing outside and driving around in the power wheels, playing basket ball and baseball and the sandbox. Tay LOVED the Sandbox a little too much - we hosed him down like 10 times. We ended the night with a bonfire and the girls told REALLY long "ghost stories" about princesses who didn't do what their parents said and then got lost in the woods. The boys got bored and started running around again. It was such a fun night for the grown ups and the kiddos.

On Saturday we met went to Millennium Park with Uncle Du and also met up with Aunt Maddie. The spitting face towers were the biggest hit - It was a HOT day and both kids loved getting wet and playing in the water. Tay usually shies away from anything water so I loved seeing him get into it. He would run super fast, fall, get right back up and take off again. Over and over. After some downtime and naps, Jill, Josh, Derek and Molly came over to Du's for dinner. Again - it was a great night catching up with friends and felt like no time had passed since we last saw each other. We went up to the rooftop after dinner and the kids found a chair that spun and they basically spun each other in circles until we made them go back inside. It made me dizzy just looking at them!! I told Avery she was in charge of the little kids and she took her job very seriously. We also got to see Eddie for a bit, which was great. Such a fun night! 

Sunday was Father's Day and Hung and Du went golfing. Maddie and I took the kids to Navy Pier - they loved the Ferris Wheel and the Children's museum. Avery said her favorite part was "beating" Aunt Maddie at chess 2 times. Tay loved the building area - he really got into playing with tools and I felt like I was looking at a mini-Hung. We ended with ice cream and then both kids were spent!! 

We had SUCH a great time but are all totally exhausted today. It was totally worth it, though :)
