Chicago Trip Day 2 - Izzy's birthday at American Girl

One of the big reasons for this trip was to get the Isabelle Palmer Doll of the Year for my Isabelle Palmer!  Still can't believe they chose that name!  Grammy got her the doll and some extras and we all chipped in to get Emma and Olivia's dolls something new, too.  It was fun seeing Izzy so excited, she practically willed the store to open a few minutes early!









Chicago Trip Day 1 - Willis Tower/Navy Pier

So, early Sunday morning we boarded Amtrak in East Lansing and headed off to Chicago!  The train was such a good idea.  Kids loved it.  We got to Chicago with beautiful weather and went up in the Willis Tower and then went to Navy Pier.  It was a long day but definitely fun.  Kids can't wait to get the rest of the week on! 



 Downloaded a speed app so we could keep track of the train, maxed out at 114 MPH!




 Had to go out on the ledge!!







 Motley Crew




 Whose kid is this??
 With Grammy in the ferris wheel at Navy Pier

 Really??  He went back to hotel totally soaked!!


Love watching Alex Pitch!

Saturday Alex got to pitch again.  He absolutely loves pitching!  It is so fun seeing him out there trying his hardest.  He even got a strikeout.

Memorial Day at Greenfield Village

Today we went to Greenfield Village with my mom and dad.  Had tons of fun, it was beautiful weather, if a tad hot.  But ice cream and free refills of lemonade helped alot with that!  Saw lots of cool sights, kids loved hoping into all the buildings to see what was inside.  Fun was had by all!
