We're back!! It was a long exhausting weekend, but we had a good time. For the most part the kids were pretty good. We must have literally walked 20 miles this weekend. The only day we didn't walk to our destinations was on Saturday because it was raining.
We were able to pack our long weekend with stuff like the Field Museum, Buckingham Fountain, Museum of Science & Industry, Navy Pier, Sears Tower, Shedd Aquarium, the Lego store, Hard Rock Cafe and so much more! In Chicago 4th of July weekend is what they call the Taste of Chicago. It's basically a giant street fair in Millennium Park with vendors, bands and everything else you can think of (unless you like being swarmed by 2.5 million people I would suggest visiting at another time...lol). We got to see two fireworks shows (and they are spectacular. Nothing like what we see here) and we even caught part of the Mitchell Musso concert in the park (he's a big Disney star off of Hannah Montana). The kids got a kick out of that.
The kids, Tony and I are pooped to say the least and Holly got air sick on the way home poor thing but here's just a few of the pics from this weekend (and there are quite a few here...lol):

- I am a Mom of two adorable, yet trying, children who constantly keep me on my toes. I try really hard to capture our everyday life as a family on paper so that my children have something to treasure as they grow. This also helps me to remember all the "little" things that are forgotten so easily in our hectic daily lives.

Wow, looks like you guys had an awesome time! You really got to do a lot!
Nice trip planning- you did so much. You can tell by the smiles that everyone had fun. I really liked the picture of Brody and Holly in front of the riverwalk- where he is giving her a hug. Love it!
Glad you are back safe and sound!
