Chicago

Since the kid had 2 weeks off for spring break, we decided to go get Miss Liv from my sisters, and then take the gang to Chicago for a couple of days. The first day we went to Legoland. It was a smashing success.
When you first walk in, they have a mini Chicago made out of Legos, it was so cool, and amazing that someone has the patience to make it.

Jed showing off the Sears tower the taught him to make.

Grace loving R2D2.

A zebra head, so very cool, and just for Liv.

They also had buckets of Legos out where kids could make anything they wanted, mostly cars, since there were a couple race tracks around as well to see who could make the fastest car.

Olivia making her scared face. Such a ham.

The next day we went to the American Girl store where the girls each got a doll and then on to Lincoln Park Zoo. They were pretty spent after a busy few days, so no pictures. As we were driving around downtown they all said how they would not like to live in the big city, but did think the skyscrapers were cool. Next time I would like to spend more time sight seeing, but kids are not always that interested.

After the baptism, Olivia went home with my sister, and the older two and Claire stayed with us. Since Liv in not is school, she gets to "vacation" with SueAnn every once in a while, and LOVES it. While she was gone, it snowed for the 2nd time this year, so we put that snow to good use. Jed made a fort...
and Grace made a snowman, with a little help from mom and Jed to stack.
Jed also competed in the pinewood derby and got second place for his den. He was so proud. His car looked like a tank.
