Adventures in the Windy City

Well, we finally made out to Chicago last week to visit Joy, Greg, Riley, and little Carter. Matt was on reserve at O'Hare airport the whole week, but luckily didn't get called in once, so he got to play with us the whole week. Yeah! We had such a great time, especially Brooklyn, who couldn't get enough of being with her best friend.

They had a swing set in their basement along with every other toy ever made. Their was never a dull moment.

This was at the Field (Natural History) Museum. Brooklyn was apparently a little nervous about riding the alligator.


THE CHILDREN'S MUSEUM

This place was insane. They had so many cool things for the girls to do. We were there for about 4 hours and probably got through about half of the activities. I only wish they had something like that here in Utah.

Riley and Brooklyn couldn't get enough of the wind tunnel. They would have stayed in there all day if we had let them.



VALENTINE'S DAY in CHICAGO
Joy and I started off the day with giving Matt and Greg their favorite powdered donuts. Yummy!

Next, Brooklyn and Riley made sugar cookies for their Valentine's - Daddy.


You can't make sugar cookies with out indulging a little, or a lot, right?


Our last adventure - THE SEARS TOWER

It was so beautiful and amazing at night. This picture doesn't really do it justice.


Thanks again to Joy and Greg for letting us take over their home for the week. We had so much fun! We love you!

Wow, that looks like an AMAZING trip! I am so glad Brooklyn is back to the happy smiling face for pictures again. Luke is just beginning the naughty picture-taking stage... and it is infuriating!

Anyway, the two girls are darling together! I wish Luke and Brooklyn could spend more time together... :(

Miss y'all.

I'm so glad you commented, it's so fun to "run" into you ;)
You are gorgeous as always and your daughter is adorable. Are you guys in Provo? We will be coming back to Springville in June. 18 months is about all I can take.
Ryan's cousins, husband, just got a job with Skywest in SLC. His name is Sam and I can't remember her new last name. They just moved there from Virginia, thought your hubby might know him.
can you use your free flights and come to Florence? You have a free place to stay and if you want to bring the bambini's, you have a free babysitter!

I love the matching Uggs! It looks like you guys had a blast! That wind tunnel looks like so much fun.
