We had our first family flight together not too long ago...to the Windy City! We visited a bunch of family (see next post) but we managed to squeeze in some sightseeing and time with friends too.
Boys got up the morning we left with no problem, excited. Heck Aaron was excited just to ride the bus shuttle from the parking lot to the airport itself :) I was a little nervous that once we got on the plane that Aaron would be scared, but he was perfectly fine! (ok, maybe the excitement factor that I let the kids have bubble gum when we took off and landed overwhelmed any fears or nerves)
Once we got to Chicago we stayed overnight in downtown. With it being a traveling day, I didn't feel like we should be then in a car for another hour-ish to get to anyone's house. Best decision! We had a little bit of time to walk down to Navy Pier. We had dinner and Nate wanted to go on the ferris wheel.

The following morning we had a little bit of time to explore before going to Josh's grandparents house. So, we walked down Michigan Ave, had pizza for lunch and checked out the Hancock building.

The next day we went to our friend's house - Nate's best buddy Braedan moved to the area over the summer. They were so kind to let us sleep over for three nights. We were happy to have had some open time to do fun stuff with them too!

| Silly characters - the idea was for them to sleep in the same bed one night, but we ended up having to separate them :) |

Overall we had a wonderful time. Weather was certainly different...forty degree difference for us and coming home we unfortunately got stuck in all the snow in Minnesota! It made for a six hour delay. Now of course the kids want to know when they get to fly on a plane again!
