Chicago

Well I am finally getting to posting about our trip and next I will post about Ethan's birthday! Our trip was amazing. I will basically let the pictures speak for themselves but I wanted to tell Richard THANKS for working so hard to get us this trip! It was a blast! And THANK YOU Amanda, Coleman, Hailey and Amelia for watching Ethan for us!

The whole ride there we were just above the clouds! It was so neat!

If anyone can tell me what these circles are I would love to know!

We stayed at the Conrad Hilton and our room was amazing. There was this tub and then a standing tiled shower. I love when hotels come with things in the bathrooms and I seriously take the things so the housekeeper replaces them the next morning! This hotel had shower caps, tooth paste, tooth brush, floss, mouthwash, shampoo, conditioner, bubble bath, shower gel, q-tips and cotton balls! Needless to say I was impressed haha!

The first day we got there they took us to this little hole in the wall hamburger place but I guess it is pretty famous and it was great! Its called Billy Goats! The guy taking our order was hilarious and wouldn't let us get single burgers so we all ended up with double burgers!

That night Richard and his group went on a boat tour and I was on my own! So I headed down to the Navy Pier. They had fireworks that night so it was pretty packed but super fun!

The next day was another tour and Richard thought this sign was pretty funny because it was in English and Chinese!

We loved all the cool buildings!

This is one of my favorite pictures!

I love anything with my middle name in it!

Okay so the cops there have 4 wheelers! What the HECK!?!?

This was an apron in one of the stores! I want to try and re create it myself! Wish me luck!

We also went to the Hershey Store and Richard got to work the machine and get candy out! It was hard work!

Go Richard!

On Thursday night they took us to a dueling piano bar and it was so crazy! We had fun there!

The nest day we went to the Field Museum. This was obviously a dead spider but it was so sick!

A huge replica of a snake!

And Richards favorite.... T-Rex

Richard giving the pirate a Kiss!

This was one of my favorite parts of Chicago! The American Girl Doll Store! I saw on my friends blog that she went to the store in Texas, so before we left I went to my Mom and Dad's house and my doll Kirsten! I took her to the store to get her hair cut but I had to make an appointment because they were so full. So an hour later I came back and they said "whose doll is this? Is this yours?" (looking at a little girl) Well she said no and then I had to say she was mine. The lady couldn't stop laughing at me! Oh well!

Her hair was insane!

They trimmed her bangs!

And there you have it!
