A couple of weeks ago Tommy had a short break from school so we decided to take advantage of it and head to Chicago!! We had a great time and the boys loved it!
We headed out of town on a Thursday afternoon.
Thursday night we had dinner at the Cheesecake Factory and then the boys headed back to the hotel to get a good nights sleep while the girls went shopping at Oakbrook Mall. We shopped until Caroline finally dropped!
Friday morning we surprised Tommy with a trip to the Lego store downtown. He loved it!
He's just starting to get more into Legos and be able to do a lot of the sets by himself so he was excited to see all of the Lego options!
The boys at the Lego store.
Since we were right next door to the American Girl store I had to show it to Caroline :) Here she is by the new Caroline doll! I can't wait until she is a little bit older- we will be spending a lot more time (and money) there than we did on this trip :)
After the Lego store we drove to the Museum of Science and Industry. The boys loved it!
Exploring the trains
Watching the chicks
Caroline was a good sport- she just rode along in her stroller and people watched.
Looking at the submarine
For dinner Friday night we headed to the Rainforest Cafe (Tommy's choice). Tommy and Caroline loved it, but Henry was a little nervous.
Saturday we headed to Shedd Aquarium which is always a big hit with the boys.
Henry learning how coral grows :)
When we headed home late Saturday afternoon we had some tired people in the back seat!
