Here are the pictures from our trip to Chicago. Cassy had to take her boards there. My phone was almost dead by the time we left the art institute so I had to limit my picture taking. Note to self, take backup camera's on trips to the city!
Sorry I have not posted these before, just got them loaded to the computer from my phone.
Cody on the train, looking a little spacey early in the am
Brendon a little more chipper in the morning, Cody is coming around
Caiden was not real sure how he felt about riding the train....he warmed up to it after a while.
Caiden
Brendon checking out the scenery.
Gaven is a little camera shy.
The train ride began loosing it's fun factor after a while.
Jeff....are we there yet?
Wish my phone hadn't died, many of the places we walked had buildings with such interesting architecture, I'd have enjoyed photographing them, but that will have to be saved for another day, and a good camera.
The fountain in front of the Art Institute
Jeff helping Caiden take in the sites.
Cody and Brendon in front of the fountain.
This is so much more beautiful in person, my phone's camera does not do it justice.
Another, but different vantage point.
...looking into the water...
Brendon and Cody in front of the lion...
Took a couple shots to get them and the lion in the frame without cutting something off, was almost standing in the street to get this picture taken .
Buddha...interesting fella.
In the Japanese art area.
same one different angle.
For a while these are just pics of different art work I found interesting.
The Pieta...
Fountain at Grant Park.
more of the fountain...
Along Navy Pier.
Big boat.
The signage for Navy Pier
Bubba Gump Shrimp Company
Harry Caray's tavern...we didn't stop, just took the pic.
I love the skylines in Chicago...
More skyline...
Ferris Wheel at Navy Pier.
Got distracted by the skyline again.
and again.
Cassy & Caiden in line for the merry go round.
He seems to be enjoying his ride.
Cody was scared of the ferris wheel & the swings...so he opted for this ride with all the little kids.
He looks like the big kid that got stuck going on the kiddy ride with a younger sibling.
Brendon, however, is terrified of heights, so none of the rides on Navy Pier were to his liking.
Gaven on the swings.
Caiden & Cassy on the train ride.
