On our last day in Chicago, we spent the day at Navy Pier taking in the rides, the fountain, the foods, and then the Beach!
We walked around the pier and found some fun Chicagoan souvenirs to remember our time here: magnets, shirts, etc. We also found the famous Garret's Popcorn and tried all the kinds. It was delicious! Then Evan and Daddy took a ride on the HUGE ferris wheel that we had seen from our hotel window everyday. Madelyn and Luke enjoyed the big swings and Henry, Jane, and I were content to watch from the sidelines.
Then the kids changed into their swimsuits and played around in the fountains right next to the pier.
Jane loved exploring all around and Luke had a very memorable picture taken next to him posing by a shooting fountain. : )
Then we headed to the Ohio St. Beach just a few blocks away. We spent the afternoon building sandcastles, jumping the waves, and burying each other in the sand. The sun came out and it was a magical time. Jonathan and I looked around at each other and our kids and felt very grateful.
We came back to the hotel and enjoyed watching fireworks from our window. We loved our time in Chicago!
