Chicago Shopping Trip

Mommy went shopping and Daddy and I hit the Chicago Children's Museum.  It was a wonderous place- I was captivated for 4 hours and didn't want to leave when the guard came at closing time to kick us out!

We had an awesome room at the Chicago Sheraton.  Very cool.  And we ate Giordanos' famous pizza!



This is the amazing view from our room of the Chicago river and Wrigley building


this was daddy's favorite exhibit at the museum:  A tall room where you could put together foam airplanes and helicopters and use a winch to haul them to the top of the room and drop them off!  Daddy and Sophie's helicopter design stayed afloat the longest, of course!  Hey, Uncle Kurt: try to beat our record of 32 seconds of flight time!!




I got to slide down the file pole!


I wanted to feed the T rex- he looked hungry


This was an exhibit where I got to dig for dinosaur bones.  It was very cool



I dressed the snowman- he looked cold!

Sophie, you look so grown-up! I also love the Children's Museum in Chicago- I can't decide which is my favorite picture.
