Chicago Fourth of July Weekend





Elli is loaded down with her baby, blanket, sword, and backpack leaving the hotel. We had a great weekend. Brent chose a great place to stay and Jenna and Justin were very accomodating with so many people coming to their home for meals, and fun. Love you all.





Sparklers on July 4th waiting for fireworks outside our hotel room. These ended up being better than dowtown's fireworks. Tons of fun.




The throngs of people trying to leave the city at the same time. Craziness! We took the train from Jenna and Justin's house into the city with standing room only, but believe it or not, we left on that same train with almost a whole car to ourselves. Elli was asleep before we even got settled into our seats. When we got to our hotel room, she giggled in her little bed looking over at us and said, "it is fun to sleep with people." ?





The whole gang waiting for the fireworks downtown Chicago. They were good. We had fun. Elli got a great sword that she swung around dangerously the whole time. That is until she started shaking her booty!






Elli loved the statues of these little kids. She talked to them, hugged them, rubbed their faces, and asked if they were doing okay. How sweet she is.







Eating yummy corn at Taste of Chicago. Also, Elli and daddy enjoying the carousel on the Navy Pier. Elli loves to ride these horses!
