Windy City Adventures

This year over MEA we went to visit our Chicago family again. We broke up the drive down with a night in Wisconsin Dells to play in the water. Emily was a little more hesitant with the water slides than she was last year but she was much more interested in exploring the whole water park. We had a great night and will plan on making the stop every year!

Friday morning we were on the road to Chicago. The entire drive was uneventful and we were there by midday. We spent some time visiting and letting the little ones play. For dinner we splurged on Chicago style pizza and it was delicious!  We also celebrated William's 2nd birthday.  He's getting so big and changing every time we see him!

Thankfully we had indoor plans on Saturday because it was a windy, rainy day. We visited the Museum of Science and Industry. There was plenty to keep the kids interested and lots of intriguing exhibits for the adults. We spent all morning there before heading back to put the kids down for naps. The rest of the day (which was not much since the kids napped until 5:00!) was spent hanging out, visiting, playing and enjoying a delicious dinner prepared by Marcus!

Sunday morning came quickly and after waking up, snapping a few pictures of the kids together and grabbing some leftovers for road snacks, we were on our way back to Minneapolis.

We are looking forward to the holidays when we get to see them all again!
