Chicago!

with FRIENDS!

This weekend our friends Josh and Krystal came to town! It was so great to have them! We miss them already--I guess we'll have to make the 6 hour trek to Ohio next time :) While they were here, we enjoyed an evening without kids, and then spent Saturday in Chicago. We even rode the train! It was so much fun having them here and we can't wait to do it again!
Here's me and Berger boy (more like booger boy) riding the train!
okay, answer me this one... the government requires carseats until a child is 4'9" yet you can ride on trains and buses without ANY restraint?!

Thought this was cool--it's a miniature Lincoln memorial.
When we got off the train station, we had two choices: pay $10 for a bus or walk. The guy told us it was 3-4 miles to the aquarium...but we didn't believe him--my blisters do!
While our friends went to see "Wicked", we took the kids to the aquarium. They are watching a big turtle. Bergen was actually afraid of it!
This is in a place called Millinium Park. Bergen loved this big "blob" thing....it was pretty cool looking!

Looks like you guys had fun! Weird coincidence- we spent Saturday hanging around Chicago while Janson's mom and sis went to see Wicked. I wasn't brave enough to walk around the cold like you, though... I hung around in a mall with the babe. :)
