Chicago trip

We just took our first small family vacation this past weekend to Chicago. We went up Friday afternoon and checked into our hotel which had a waterpark inside. We spent the rest of the day at the waterpark and just hanging out. On Saturday we headed to the Brookfield zoo!!! I haven't been there since I was a kid so was quite excited to go and we all had a great time!! It was a HOT day, around 90 degrees, but we survived!!

The girls playing in the kids area of the waterpark, here water shot up out of 3 holes and if you covered up one or two of the holes it made the water go higher on the other hole(s)

Keira exploring the kids playground....Addisyn wouldn't go on this because of the big bucket on top that would fill with water and dump every so often!!

Addisyn and Mommy on the lazy river....this became Addisyn's favorite thing....a girl after my own heart! =)

Watching the sea lions

They had a dinosaur exhibit for the summer which Addisyn was so excited to see but once she got there she got scared (the dinosaurs moved and made noises)...soon after leaving though she wanted to go see them again and it was the highlight she most talks about seeing!
