Today,we took the 10 minute walk from our hotel down to Navy Pier. The air was a brisk 25 degrees, but after the fog, rain and clouds yesterday, it was nice to see the sun. We spent the day at the Chicago Children's Museum. A full day of playing, including lunch in the Navy Pier food court, was a great way to spend our last day here!
 |
| "We're cold, Mom! Can we just go inside already?!" |
 |
| Trying on the fireman uniform. |
 |
| Exploring in Water Ways. |
 |
| Laura was excited to find a pulley after studying simple machines in science class. |
 |
| Great view from the top floor of the museum! |
 |
| Such simple, mess-free fun! |
 |
| The "ice rink" was a huge hit. The kids loved "skating" in their socks! |
 |
| Nathan found a really cool truck in Kids Town. |
 |
| We all loved the Invention Lab. We enjoyed taking turns building our flying machines and cranking them up high to test their flight capabilities. |
 |
| The kids also loved the Skyline construction zone. They spent a long time working with nuts, bolts, wing nuts and screwdrivers. |
 |
| Heavy construction work. |
 |
| "Unboxed" was the temporary exhibit. Such a simple idea....cardboard boxes, scissors, tape and crayons. The possibilities for the imagination were endless! |
 |
| Nathan chose to build a skyscraper in the Unboxed area. |
It was a great day. After a walk back to the hotel, we had a snack, went to the pool, and wound down the night with baths and dinner. We are all looking forward to hitting the road tomorrow for Ohio!
