Chicago trip

We spent some time in Chicago in July. We enjoyed Great America, The Museum of Science and Industry, and Lake Michigan.

It was raining as we entered the park and as we left.

Monkey liked the train.

Sweet Baby and cousin E hanging out.

Girlfriend and Monkey enjoyed the calm rides. Dude went on every roller coaster an adult family member was willing to take him on. Punkin' was brave enough to go on the Demon (3x).

A bunch of clowns.

The highlight...trains!


Punkin' and Monkey inside a jet engine.
Sweet baby at the beach.

Monkey didn't like the big waves.


We stopped at P's on the way home.

Columbus

We have been studying Christopher Columbus and other explorers in history lately. On our way to Iowa this weekend we stopped in Peoria to see two replica ships. The Nina and the Pinta. http://www.thenina.com/





The Pinta

Checking out the tiny fish.

Sweet Baby was hungry, sleepy and hot!
