We arrived very early Friday morning and did our own little Chicago tour, including shopping on Michigan Avenue, taking a trolley tour and visiting Navy Pier... boy, does Chicago live up to it's nickname "Windy City"... it was extremely "knock you over" windy!
It wasn't long before we met up with our friends. Bug was in heaven playing with Patrick & Emma (our not so frequent blogging friends)
Emma & Sophie
Sophie & Caleb
Ring around the Rosie with Patrick, Emma & Maya

Grant and Hannah enjoyed multiple rides on the swings and ferris wheel.

Maya took a turn pushing Sophie on the swing in Lincoln Park.
Funny Patrick
These two had a blast together... Sophie just LOVES Patrick!
The beautiful Hannah with her little brother, Caleb
We even made it to the beach!!
It was so fun to watch adorable baby Charlie toddle on the sand.
And enjoy a frosty treat from the Ice Cream Man.
And just enjoy digging in the sand...
What a beautiful city! We can't wait to go back to Chicago and we look even more forward to visiting with our friends more often!

What a great weekend! We LOVE Chicago in the summer. It is just such a great city!
Sarah,
What a nice trip to be able to take with friends. I love the picture of Sohpie and Caleb. She looks so happy being with all the children. I bet the children liked riding Thomas the Train too. They all look like they are smiling.
That's an awesome pic of You, Grant,and Sophie with the buildings in the back ground. A true Chicago picture.
Have a good weekend!
Love and Hugs....

Sarah, you are so sweet. Thank you for such kind words. Yes, getting family pictures done is so very stressful, but well worth it!
