Too Funny

I know that I haven't finished updating our October trip, but I couldn't pass this up. If I wait,I'll forget. Tim had made fish for dinner last night and the kids were not too excited about eating it. Ellie was the most vocal about it. After we had her take a bite, she looked really sad and said, "Poor fishy." It was too much. Needless to say, she was done eating fish for the night.

October update

Now that it is December, I should continue my udate on our October trip. One of the fun things we did while in the States was to go to the Chicago Children's Museum located on Navy Pier. Of all the times we visited Chicago, we never went there. It was fantastic! Papa dropped us all off while he went to a quick meeting. He did manage to join us later- just in time to do some major building. We all had so much fun.
They worked hard at building a skyscraper with Grammie.



They loved climbing around in the ship.

Building a 2 story house with a porch was a lot of fun with Papa in his suit. Too bad there was not enough fabric to cover the house.
We felt like we were back in Sweden with the rain gear they put on to play in the water area. What is it with kids and water? They could have spent the whole day in this area. I do have to say- it was fun!
It was so great to spend the day with Grammie and Papa at such an exciting place. I'm glad we went. Not to mention that we stopped for treats before we headed home.
Everyone was a bit tired and slept well that night.
