Since solo was her only event today we got to have a free afternoon and we chose to go to Chicago! Chicago is about an hour and a half from South Bend so we thought that would be a fun trip while we were this close. I had been to Chicago once with work and that was a few years ago so I was excited to get to see it again. We really had going to Cloud Gate as number one on the agenda. Cloud Gate, or "The Bean", is a huge mirrored sculpture that reflects everything and everyone. You can walk in it and it is super cool to look up at the ceiling. We took lots of pictures so I will apologize now for the picture overload! I think we were all in picture heaven!
Our group selfie...Hubs couldn't quite look since he was navigating us through the city streets |
Finding our reflection! |
Someone else was amazed |
Bryce's serious face |
We enjoyed our afternoon walking around Millennium Park, seeing Buckingham Fountain, and of course eating some yummy Chicago deep dish pizza! We had such a fun day. This trip has been filled with a lot of fun memories! We have been seeing and doing things that we wouldn't have gotten the chance to do otherwise and we have been with fun people! It just makes me all the more thankful that we had this opportunity. I think the girls were amazed at the city. They told us tonight that they liked the big buildings. Kate told me she liked the bridge we rode over as we were coming into the city. I think they enjoyed Cezann and Caroline the most!
Kate was going to nap like some of the other people we saw |

Sometimes you have to change a diaper right there in the middle of it all |
Cohen wanted a balloon from this man on the street so bad! She and Kelly made a friend in the process! He had to take a picture of Cohen, Kelly, and Bryce. "My new friends" he said!
