Chicago - Day 2

We took a morning stroll to Einstein's Bagels and bought enough bagels for two days of breakfast.  After breakfast we headed out to Navy Pier.  Our first stop was the Chicago Children's Museum where we spent a couple of hours doing lots of "hands on" things.  The kids really enjoyed it!

It looks like a scale, but when you stand on it, it actually measures your height.  My kind of "scale"!! 

Here's Cora!

Blake's final project

We all worked together to build a skyscraper.  It's tougher than it looks!

Here they go!

Next we walked around Navy Pier.  In my opinion, it was nice but basically a big money pit!  We took a ride on the Ferris Wheel and it only went around one time and cost us $32 for the four of us!

After resting at the hotel for a couple hours, we later ventured out to the Disney Store and a few other stores on Michigan Avenue.  For dinner we ate at a fast food Mexican restaurant off the strip and then got ice cream at Baskin Robbins.

Day 2 was a little more relaxing than day 1.  We were really looking forward to Day 3 and seeing our Tigers at Wrigley Field!!
