Chicago

Torrey had to work in Chicago for 2 weeks so we decided to drive up (it's only about 5 or 6 hours) and stay with him. I hadn't ever been to Chicago and thought this would be a great time. The kids were great in the car and I loved all the farm land in Illinois. It is very rural all until about 60 miles out of Chicago.
Day 2 we went to Legoland. The boys loved it!

 The first exhibit was the Indian Jones Jungle, they were a little freaked out but still amazed at what a lego can make.

 It was Taylan's lucky day! He dresses as Batman everywhere we go, yes even with a cape. So to see Batman as a life size Lego figure was right up his alley.

 Legoland is actually a great place, it is one fee for entrance and then they can do any of the exhibits there. Rather than have to pay more for one thing or another.

The last exhibit was a life size of President Obama. Triton thought that was great.

 On the last day we went to Navy Pier. They of course wanted to ride the big Ferris Wheel. Don't you just love Taylan's outfit...he refused to change out of the "howrse shurt." Not ideal for pictures:)

 Chicago Skyline...and Triton is so done with pictures at this point.
