Memorial Day Weekend - Chicago

This weekend we packed up and headed to Chicago to visit my brother Tony and his wife Colleen. They have a lovely home in Wrigleyville and are within walking distance to many things. We ate great food, played at some fun parks, and enjoyed the sites and of course time with them. We'll definitely be back again.


Here is Abby and Megan (in the car seat) with Tony and Colleen on the train. This is Abby's second time to Chicago so she's been on the train before, but this was Megan's first trip.

Here is Abby at Millennium Park playing in the water. This is while she was still dry. By the end she was soaked in water.
Here we are at the Lincoln Park Zoo. Abby is in to the Lion King lately so we were visiting "Simba". The lions and tigers were one of her favorites.
Here was one of my favorites. This polar bear was swimming right up to the glass wall. He just kept doing circles. It was pretty cool to watch.
What trip to Chicago wouldn't be complete without paying homage to the Cubs and Wrigley Field. We walked down here on Monday morning to grab some Cubs gear and brunch then headed back to the Papke's house to pack up and head home. The girls traveled very well, however we were all ready to get out of the truck by the time we got home. This weekend is a trip to Carrollton for a wedding so we'll be on the road again. It seems like all we do is pack and unpack! As for Megan - she is working on rolling over so I'll get some video of that when she gets a little closer. Right now she scoots in circles a lot and pushes herself around with her feet.
