Spring Break

My mom was able to come up for 9 days during Paige's Spring Break this year. She always comes during horrible weather so she never gets to see any of the good stuff in Chicago, case in point, it was 70 the week before she came and snowing when her plane landed. We had to cut the trip to the zoo out of our plans, but we were able to take her to The Museum of Science and Industry and she got to go to our 5 park activities and see the 5 different parks. Here are a few trips to our favorite museum, after 4 trips I think we have finally seen it all!

Hanging out on the Boeing 727 that is suppended from the ceiling of the Museum.

Some of the airplanes that we had never seen before at the museum.

Walking through the "Days of Yesterday" area with the theatre and Berghoff's restaurant.

Taylor was a little to anxious to get into see Andy our friend that works at Jenner and Block...too bad it was just a facade. And watching the baby chickens that had just hatched in the farm area.

The trolley we had never noticed before and Grandma showing Paige all the different buildings in the Seattle model, and of course we were able to find Iver's Acres...one of these days we'll live there and become overweight from eating at Iver's too much...but that will be a few years down the road.

Conductor Taylor playing on the trains.

Circus time! Okay, it's not as fun as the circus we went to in November but this will have to due until the day after Thanksgiving.

Finally my mom has long legs...unfortunately it only made my long legs ever longer.

"It's a proud flag! A high flying flag!" (can anyone besides Charity get that movie reference?!)
