Weekend In Chicago

We had such an awesome weekend in Chicago! We went up to meet with a group of Guatemala Adoptive Families that we met during our process and have become wonderful friends with. About nine families got together with their beautiful children. I will not post pictures of those families that do not have a public blog but wanted to share some pictures of our fun weekend!

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)

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!
