The Ferris Wheel on Navy Pier
Checking out the Millenium Park Jelly Bean
Below are some pictures from Lincoln Park Zoo. This was probably the best Zoo experience either Kyle or I can remember--not too hot, not crowded, and the animals were lively and entertaining.

Genos East Pizza (and milk through a bendy straw!)
Friday was rainy, so we went to the Museum of Science and Industry. The kids really liked this first "Idea Center" where they could actually play with the exhibit.
The Water Taxi Ride back to the train Station.
Josie was such a trooper the whole time--skipping naps and late nights. It finally caught up with her on the walk to the train station. She didn't even wake up while we boarded the train.
