To cap off Jeremy's birthday, we made a spontaneous trip to Chicago. It was Maryn's first time and with lucked out with great weather. We drove up on a Saturday morning and had brunch with the Beiers. Maryn and Tate had fun together even with a small size difference :) Unfortunately for some crazy reason I did not have my camera out while we were there...oops. We had a great time catching up with Scott and Lisa and enjoyed a yummy brunch. That afternoon we checked into our hotel and then headed to the Shedd Aquarium. Upon arrival there was a little apprehension from Maryn, but she quickly warmed up to the fish, sting ray, and eels swimming past her. She loved it!!! In fact, any time we walked away from one of the tanks she started screaming! While they were just fish to us, they were a whole new discovery for her and it was so exciting to see her joy. Guess we might be getting a fish sometime soon?!?
On Sunday we had lunch with the Horvaths and Bowers at Portillo's. We enjoyed introducing Peter and Claire to Maryn for the first time and catching up with them. Lucky for us we see Johnny, Sara, and Harrison fairly often. Maryn had a cute wave for Harrison! In one of the photos you can see a picture of all of us together. One of ladies working at the restuarant, Miss Showtime Nancy, was intrigued by our little ones! She was quick to bring Portillo's hats for Maryn and Harrison and also wanted my camera so she could take our picture. She was such a sweet lady!! After lunch we did a little shopping on Michigan Ave. and then were on our way back down windy 65. It was a great family trip and we look forward to many more in the months to come!
Quick stop before the aquarium!
Daddy that tickles:)
Whoa...that is a big fish coming right at us!
Bundled up to brave the Windy City
Peek-a-boo :)
