Vacation fun!

On Monday we took the kids to Chicago! They had a wonderful time as did we. We went to Grant Park and walked along the waterfront. Then we headed to Chinatown. We had milkshakes and tea at Saint's Alp Teahouse. Very YUMMY! We did some window shopping and just walking around enjoying the area. Kali and Kaci felt so at home and comfortable there that we plan to make that trip again!

On Tuesday we went to St. Louis and visted City Museum. If you want a fun place where kids can be kids and nothing can break, except in the gift shop, then this is the place. The kids climbed all through adn around all the stuff. Everything is made from recycled stuff. It is soo cool!

This was the most fun the kids have had so far on our vacation!

Only one trial and that was when Kole banged his moutho n a metal bar becasue he was not looking the direction he was going. Cut his lip and the staff here was very good at getting us to first aid and getting the bleeding stopped and an icepack. In ten minutes he was off and going again!
