Chicago!

Again ~ I LOVE Chicago!!! I have plans to return this summer. It was such a fun place to do lots of fun things! We arrived at our hotel around 4 in the afternoon and our plans for the evening included getting settled in our room and relaxing. The girls all competed Friday morning at 8am so we knew it was going to be an early morning! After we got everything settled in our room(and the girls had a pillow fight!), we explored the hotel! It was huge (17 floors!) & the girls loved riding the elevator! They were having a Managers Reception (free drinks & snacks) so we decided to head down to the lobby and let the kids hang out and have Shirley Temples and chips & salsa while us adults had our "adult" beverages! We ordered Room Service for supper and called it a night!

Friday after the meet we did little shopping around Navy Pier. The girls all decided to make Build a Bears together and had a great time! We then headed back to the hotel so the girls could have a little Valentine's Party and do a litte swimming!

Friday night we went to ED DEBEVIC'S. If you have never been there I would highly reccommend it! It is a 50's style diner with lots of entertianment & rude waitstaff! Great time!!!!

Saturday we went to American Girl. I will be posting about this later as it deserves it's own post!! So much fun! We had lunch at The Cheesecake Factory and did a little shopping down Michigan Avenue with Shannon & Alexa and Megan & Sophie before Alexa's meet!

Way to go Alexa!!!!!

As we were leaving Alexa's meet Navy Pier looked awesome all lit up!

So whether you eat or drink or whetever you do, do it all for the Glory of God.
