We came down to Chicago for the weekend with some friends.
We all left on our own from the Holland/Zeeland area. Two of them found each other about four miles from the Museum of Science and Industry and we found the other two cars about a mile away. It was a bit crazy and a great start to the weekend.
We got to ride escalators up. The kids love escalators.
The jolly ball was a hit as normal.
And the mirror maze was probably the star of the museum.
We went to the space area, saw the volcano movie, and then spent some time in weather and storms. Each family was pretty much done by that point. We were going to just leave but each family ended up going to another small exhibit and then leaving. Time-wise it did work out pretty well
After arriving to the hotel we walked to the LEGO store. Oh, the pick-a-brick wall had some really good pieces!
We ended the night by going to a Greek restaurant. The problem was that the people that had the table ahead of us didn't leave. They paid the bill and then sat there for over a half hour. Our group was doing mostly ok. The kids got some screen time and the adults held it together. They were finally able to seat us over an hour after we had arrived at a different table. Chris ordered for us and it was amazing. The food was amazing and not having to figure out what to order was amazing. For the most part he just got a lot of the same and we spread it around. It started with bread, which we ravenously tore apart. Then some flaming cheese, a creamy rice and chicken soup, and some gyros. He got Ben some pasta which was ideal for him and Isaac. By the time we were done eating it was about 10 EST and our kids were done. We left a bit before the other families because the kids were dropping fast.
