Chicago

Over the 4th of July holiday we took a trip to Chicago and had a blast! We visited the Shedd Aquarium, the Field Museum and the Navy Pier. It was all so much fun! I have to admit, I was kinda let down with the aquarium, not as cool as I thought it would be. But, it was still a good time. Evan LOVED all the fish! Hunter enjoyed the different play areas. Hunter really enjoyed the Field Musuem and all the dinosaurs and bugs! He was in heaven!!! We all enjoyed the Navy Pier. The boys got a huge kick out of all the boats on the water and the fireworks at night! We had an amazing view from our hotel window since we were right on the water. It was a wonderful family vacation!!! Even the part when Hunter took his very own ride on the elevator ALONE! Scared the daylights out of us but everything turned out just fine. He certainly learned his lesson - stay close to mom and dad!

Cars 2!

Hunter had his first movie theatre experience this past week. I took him to see Cars 2 on the big screen and he was simply amazed! He sat quietly through about 90% of the movie - I was shocked! He LOVED it!!! He cannot wait to go and see the new Alvin and the Chipmunks movie this December. He is bummed that he has to wait until Santa comes to see that movie. But, I am sure there will be another movie for him to see well before then! I am so happy that he enjoyed it as much as he did.
