Trip to Chicago (0ur mini-summer-vacay)

Last weekend, we decided to make the most of the end of summer by visiting Chicago. We haven't been able to really leave Madison for months and months, so this counts as our summer vacation! Our condo is in the background of one of our many walks. My Dad lives in Milwaukee and works in Chicago, so we have access to the condo at any time! I know, we are VERY lucky...


Alden is loving a rock he found during one of our many walks through the city...


...and enjoyed snuggling with Daddy on our walk through a nearby park.


Alden playing in the same park...


We highly recommend the Shed's show, Fantasea for anyone with a preschooler!


Alden clapped his hands together like the seals...


The Beluga Whales were a big hit...


A hawk as a highlight??? These Wisconsinites were not very impressed...


The main attraction! When the show was over, Alden started to cry, "I miss the dolphins! I want to see them AGAIN!!!"
