Chicago

We recently (ok like 2 weeks ago) returned from a trip to Chicago. We stayed with some dear friends and had a bunch of fun. I think my favorite part was how well Ethan got along with Ben and Beth's daughter Genevieve.




Millennium Park is in downtown Chicago. The face changes in the background and at one point the mouth opens and water comes out.



Ethan and Genevieve enjoying playing in the water.






This is also Millennium Park, at the bean looking thing. It was really cool.



I just liked this one



This is the toad that Ethan touched and that Genevieve nearly kissed.



A day with Rosanna



John's mosquito bite



This is a park outside of Chicago, that was mostly under water due to Hurricane Ike. We were mostly bummed out about it because all the barbeque's were completely under water. We were hungry and had no way to cook our food and so Ben had to go to the nearest town to buy one. Nonetheless Ethan and Genevieve had a good time playing football.



how precious is this!!!

All in all it was a good trip, even if the hurricane ruined one day at the park, and John had an allergic reaction to a mosquito bite and had to see a doctor. It was tons of fun!
