Saturday in Chicago

We went as a family to Chicago on Saturday. We drove in and parked at Navy Pier. Our first stop was the Chicago Children's Museum at Navy Pier. Once again our pass got us in for FREE. Yeah! It a a huge museum and well all had a good time.

We made this skyscraper together as a family. I might be able to post the link of the whole process.

Poor little Eliza is having a reaction to the sun screen. That is why her eyes are so red. She still is s pretty cute bee.

Then we walked around Navy Pier a bit and then rode the free trolley to Michigan Ave. We walked up and down and the girls fell asleep in the stroller, so we walked back to Navy Pier. That was quite the walk. Then we checked out the ballon.

 

 

 

We then went on a harbor cruise. As we were on the cruise a thunder storm rolled into town. Luckily we were on a boat with a big downstairs area, so we stayed dry. Gretta wanted to go on the big speed boat. I am sure she would have loved it, but she would have been wet.  The cruise was just right for all of us and we stayed dry.

After the harbor cruise we enjoyed dinner at McDonald's right on the pier.  Just was we were finishing up a nice man gave us three tickets for a ride at the pier amusement park.  We headed up there and wanted to go on the Ferris Wheel, but due to the pending rain that was closed. Gretta made in on the Lighthouse before it started to rain. 

Then is started to pour, so poor Eliza didn't get to go on the carousel. We gave the last two tickets away to someone else and headed to Trader Joe's. 

This is what the sky looked like as we left the parking garage. It POURED rain for about 15 minutes. 

After a stop at Trader Joe's for all of our favorite stuff we did a drive by of Millennial park and headed home. It was a really fun day!
