We started the day with a yummy breakfast and then set off for the Bean. I really wanted to see this last year, but it was about 100 degrees and we had to walk a mile to the Field Museum, so it didn't happen. I was excited to see it this year, and I think the kids enjoyed it, too. It was really funny to see the selfies sticks and poses that the young-ins were doing.
I took a bunch of pictures of our reflections in the bean, and this is the only one that turned out.
Me and my girls :)
We went to Maggie Daley park after, which was a lot of fun for the girls. Personally, the park gave me major anxiety. It was HUGE and crowded, and I was worried about losing a kid. We went man-on-man, which worked, but was still a little over-whelming. I don't know how you could do that park without an adult for every kid.
After we played, we went back to the condo and changed into our suits and went back to the lake front. We saw the last 30 minutes of the Air and Water show, which was the perfect amount of time. We saw some cool tricks, then walked down to the beach and played in the lake. Well, Leah swam in the lake, Juliet would dip her feet in, and Chris and I avoided it as much as possible because it was FREEZING.
The view was pretty awesome, though. Our condo was close to Sear's Tower (I know it has another name now, but it will always be the Sear's to me).
Juliet really wanted me to take pictures of her running in and out of the lake.
We spent our evening at the condo watching Adventures in Babysitting (fitting, as it takes place in Chicago) and eating our left over pizza. Juliet and Leah ate most their cheese-sticks the night before, so we got them dinner from 7-11--hey, it included fresh watermelon!
