Whew!! Sunday, we went to church with Jason and Betsy, had some awesome lunch, and then we headed to Rockford to meet up with some Newtons!! The boys had a blast with Uncle Tom and Josh, along with Alyssa flying kites! Aunt Jeanne made us an amazing dinner that we got to eat out on the deck...the weather was so great!
Monday, we headed to Chicago for our first full day downtown. After a bit of a late start, and a few hiccups with the train/bus schedules, we finally made it to the Museum of Science and Industry! Such a cool place! We scoped out all the galleries, and then the boys all headed into the Harry Potter exhibit. No pictures allowed...darn it! They thought it was pretty cool...lots of artifacts from the movies. After they were done with that, we explored a bit more getting to see inside a full size plane, and touring the submarine U-505! That was a cool ship! Lots of neat stuff to see in that exhibit...the boys couldnt get over how big it was! Josh got to go on a tour inside that was pretty awesome, but again, no pictures! We finished up with the space exhibit where the boys got to land a simulated space shuttle. It was pretty darn cool!
We ended the day with a trip to the FOX studios to see my friend Carina who recently got a job up here! She was able to turn on the camera and lights so the boys could sit in the reporters chair and see waht it was like to be on TV! They thought that was so awesome. We finally headed back to the train station...carrying Micah for part of the way, that poor dude was TIRED! They all were! A good nights sleep was had by all. :D
