Chicago day 2...

Tuesday morning UR took us to a fab bakery for breakfast in this hometown. It was amazing!!

Afterwards he dropped us at the metra station near his house. We decided that public transportation was easier than paying for parking and traffic jams. 

First on our list was The Field Museum. Owen was curious about the mummy exhibits but Wyatt wanted to get out of their ASAP!!

We had this exhibit all to ourselves and Owen enjoyed listening to the man who worked there talk all about what everything was. 

"Sue" was of course the coolest part of our visit. 

The cabs in Chicago were a bit tense. Most of the times I wasn't worried about not having booster seats but when we exceeded 70mph in a 40mph zone I was pretty anxious. Thankfully we all made it okay!

Our s cond stop was the museum of science and industry.....way more kid friendly. We decided to split up here as we had a movie come with our tickets and Wyatt wanted to see the humpback whale one and Owen wanted to see the adventure in space one. 

Both boys were IN LOVE with this city and train track set they had on display. Like they could have been there looking at it for hours and follow the trains around...again and again and again!!

I hung with o while kris and Wy paired up. Honestly it was nice to have some separation. I think it was best for each boy to do exactly what they wanted to.

Our last pass for the day was to the sky deck in the old Sears tower, now the Willis tower. We were in an elevator for 103 floors......and while the view was breathtaking I was ready to get back to street level in about five minutes. 

Owen was so brave!

And wy too!!  Never in a million years did I think he would walk out there.....so proud of both of them!

I'm not going to lie, I walked out their on my tippy toes, there is such an unnatural feeling about the whole thing....but again totally worth it. Kris on the other hand, not even an inch of him would get out there....

So beautiful!

And finally our last destination in downtown Chicago.....drumroll please!!!!! The LEGO store. It was the grand finale of our trip. 

I signed the boys up in advance for one of their Lego building creation activities. 

It was a shark that they got to make and keep. 

And this is their Christmas present from us to them...besides the trio they both got to pick out something from the Lego store. 

Wyatt picked out a police station set and a set of police minifigures and a small Christmas set and Owen picked out a large Christmas village set and a small Christmas train set. 

Overall it was the perfect end to another busy day!
