The next day we walked over to the famous Millennium Park to join in on some fun activities they had going on. We got to explore different plants and bugs through a microscope, try our hula-hooping skills, make crafts, read books in a giant chair, and listen to a local band perform.
Then we headed over to the iconic Bean and took a million AWESOME pictures. We had such a good time trying different poses and angles. The bean is incredible to see in person.
The park includes a huge and very creative playground that we all loved exploring. Boats, swings, hills, skating areas, slides, climbing, and plenty of grass to run around on. Of course we had to cool down with colorful, and very enticing, bomb pops. It was a hot day!
We introduced the kids to Shake Shack for the first time, or at least the younger four. It was a big hit, of course! On the way home we enjoyed watching the late afternoon light reflect on the water along the beautiful riverwalk. It was also cocktail hour, which was a bit educational for the kids, if you know what I mean...
We indulged in some incredible Chicago-style pizza for dinner and watched the boats sail in the lake until the sun set from our hotel room.
