Weekend in Chicago...


This past weekend we took a little family trip to Chicago. My childhood (best) friend was in town (from Portland, OR) and although we have kept in touch all these years we have not seen each other since 1998, 10 years! It is so much fun to reminisce with an old friend about all the funny things we did as kids. Erinn and I met in preschool and went through the 4th grade together than her family moved to Texas and a year later my family moved to Michigan! I also got to catch up with her parents and her sister and meet her finance, Dustin (who is great) and I can not wait for their wedding! Here are some pics from the weekend!

Erinn and Me ( i am gonna have to dig out one of our old pics to show you how we've changed over the years, it will be a good laugh for you all, we used to dress a like!)

On Sunday after we left the hotel we took Skylar downtown to Navy Pier. Our plan was to go to Shedd Aquarium but after walking around and lunch and all we decided the aquarium might be overstimulation so that will be on another trip!



at the fountain


my cool girl in her glasses!

In front of Navy Pier they have a fountain that the kids can play in and Skylar loved the dancing water(where it shoots up out of the ground). She would get down on her hands and knees and try to get it when it disappeared which would then lead to her being shot in the face with the stream of water when it reappeared! After she got upset a couple of times she started to thin it was very funny! The fountain was a great way to cool off and end our day at Navy Pier!









So when we were in Chicago we decided to go see the Sear's Tower, I must say we were slightly disappointed, it was not at all what we expected! haha...
