Our town Chicago

So we got to go to Chicago for our good friends Ben and Laura's wedding.  It was our first time in Chicago and we actually love Chicago it is such a fun family oriented city and we really enjoyed ourselves.  Here are a few things we got to do while we were there.

We got to get up really early both there and back and when I say early I mean early like 2:30 a.m. Our kids were such troopers they were the best kids ever.  Ryler was excited and such a good sport about everything and Greyson never cried he is the best baby ever. 

This was Greysons first airplane ride.  He did awesome!

 We got to ride a subway.  It was really hard riding the subway with so much stuff you should have seen us we had two huge things of luggage, a duffle bag, a double stroller, a tuxedo, and two kids with a train station full of people but we made it!!!!!!

One of the first things we did was go on a boat tour so we rode an airplane a train and a boat all in one day Ryler loved it.  The boat tour was an awesome way to see the city.  You get to go under a ton of bridges and see all of the cool buildings. are favorites were these corn cob buildings they were pretty cool.  Not to mention that we were really hot we have never sweat that much not that you wanted to know that but it was pretty hot and we walked everywhere.

 We saw this window washer and thought that this has to be one of the scariest jobs there is.  He looked like it didnt even bother him he was just a flying washing the windows and he was really high up.

This was while we were walking to Navy Pier which is awesome but I didnt get very good pictures of that so I left them out but it is really fun.

 This was after walking all day we got to sit down and eat a deep dish chicago pizza at Ginos it was soooooo good.

We also got to see this awesome thing called the Bean it looks like a giant jelly bean. We took a ton of pictures but theres not enought time to post them all.

What is Chicago without a little Michael Jordan

 Rylers favorite store was of course the disney store and him and mike had love at first sight so of course we bought him. 

This was a cool Mcdonalds.  I've seen this on tv before but it was cool to see it in real life.

 We got to eat at Rainforest Cafe.  It was really fun to eat there but Ryler was scared of the animals even though they were fake ugh it bugged us. But he liked the fish and the food so I guess that is good.

Here is a Lego Woody we saw him at the Lego store.

  Our first CHICAGO DOG it was really good and MESSY!

This picture is sideways so you might get a crick in your neck looking at it but it is the second tallest building in Chicago It is called the John Hancock tower and yep we went up on the 96th floor.  Our ears popped a bunch of times on the ride up but it was a beautiful sight.

                                                

 Here is lake Michigan from the top and we saw a bunch of swimming pools on peoples roofs it was so cool to see.

 And for the real reason we got to do all of this in the first place is Ben and Laura (the bride and groom)  They had a beautiful wedding everything was gorgeous and glad we got to be there.

 This is kind of a blury picture and doesn't do there wedding justice cause it was sooooo nice.  I didn't get a picture of the bride and groom on their wedding day it was kind of crazy and they had a lot of people to talk to but Laura looked gorgeous and Ben looked very handsome.  So congrats to them!!!

Ryler also was a little stud muffin and he was very good throughout most of the wedding events!  Everyone kept commenting on how well behaved our kids were so I guess we got lucky on this trip.

 So we had the best time in Chicago and want to go back again it was so fun.  We are so happy for Ben and Laura
