For Labor Day we headed to Chicago with our bikes, my mom, and Vroegops. The weather was amazingly beautiful with the bluest of skies. The girls loved staying at Embassay Suites, and I must say having the extra room is SO great for families (worth every penny!). Mom rode with us and we stopped at the Field Museum on our way in. It just so happens that they had a special exhibit on MERMAIDS!! What are the chances? Bea was thrilled. The girls loved gathering corn at the Museum and seeing "Sue" the dinosaur.
On Sunday we biked up to Lincoln Park Zoo, swam in the pool and went to Grand Lux Cafe for dinner. Monday we biked south to McCormick Place and hit Navy Pier for ice cream. Sylvie didn't eat her Ben & Jerry's, so of course Mommy had to step in and help out. Yum!
Sylvie's 2nd birthday was Monday and when we woke up we all jumped in one bed and began singing "Happy Birthday" to her...she promptly said, "NO SINGING, sing when kids and cake!" She wanted us to wait until her party to sing to her, funny!
The girls must have rode the elevator up and down about 1000 times and when we came home cousin Rachel and Beatrice played "Embassay Suites" and pretended to go in an elevator.
We had a wonderful trip and on Tuesday was Sylvie's big party...it was quite a fun weekend!
