Chicago


We headed down to Chicago this weekend to visit Aunt Ashley and see Dora the explorer with Jacob. Deacon was lucky enough to stay home with Grandpa and Grandma D. The weekend was lots of fun despite the weather. Jacob enjoyed Dora and Aunt Ashley and Mom didn't mind it either. Dad slept through most of it and claims his favorite part was the monkey bouncing around in a spandex suit.

Besides the show Jacob really enjoyed riding the train. He thought it was Thomas the train.
Ashley also showed us one of her local restaurants before we headed down town to our hotel. We would have liked to walk around a little more downtown but it was a down pour by the time we got there. We settled for a quick walk to the Disney store and dinner at Mike Ditkas restaurant. Unfortunately the Cheesecake factory was too long of a wait.

Sunday morning we woke up to a snow storm so we hung out watch some Dora and read books before having Aunt Ashley and Ryan pick us up for the Children's Muesem.

I think the adults had more fun playing than Jacob!!

Thanks Ashley and Ryan for hanging out with us and showing us around town for the weekend.
