Owen's Chicago trip

Well Owen and Julie made it to Chicago and home safe and sound. They had a great time and I keep hearing that Owen was very well behaved the whole time.

Here he is apparently getting a little goofy on the train.

His ticket to Chicago.Look at Kris and I outside of the window.....

I love this picture of him.

In front of union stationHanging out downtown

Pretty picture of the skyline

Julie said that he kept plugging his ears around the trains, they were a bit too loud for him.

Owen the conductor, so happy!

Looking at the city.

Front and center watching the seal do all kinds of fun tricks.....

Owen watching the 4D Polar Express movie. He said that he could smell the hot chocolate, smell the pine from the Christmas tree and wreaths, and also feel the water/ice blowing out at their faces when the train was going through water and when it would snow in the movie. Very cool experience for him....

The Shedd Aquarium

I think Owen is sick and tired of pictures....but this is a cute picture regardless.

We have been so rushed since he got home that we haven't really even had a chance to talk to him about his trip. Hopefully we will go through all of the pictures with him and he can tell us all about how much fun he had.

We missed our boy while he was away but are so glad that he was able to go on a fun trip with aunt Julie and experience all that he did in the few short days he was away.
