Chicago Fun part 2

Cara woke up bright and early on day 2 in Chicago. We headed down for an early breakfast at the hotel, then for a swim. After we all swam and got showers and dressed for the day Cara was ready for a nap already! So she and I took a nice long nap. Then after our nap it was time to check out and go meet our friends at the Rainforest Cafe for lunch. Of course Zaina and Cara had to sit together.

Here is Zaina posing with the frog, Cara was too scared to see him

After lunch we headed down Michigan Ave to Millenium Park. Here we are at the Bean! Cara is reaching out for herself.

Walking the grounds of the park on the way to the water fountain

Just like when we were there almost one year ago, Cara finds the splash part so fun

Here she is watching the kids on the side of the wall get hammered with a huge spray of water, she wasn't too sure what to think about that

So, she lays down on the water instead

And here, she is laying down watching the water run back into the ground, she found that fascinating

Now we are on the walk back to the hotel to get our car and head back home

We wish we had more time to spend in Chicago because we didn't get everything done. We had planned to go to the aquarium but we didn't have time. But we had lots of fun anyway. It was fun to spend time at Millenium Park. And of course no trip to Chicago is complete without shopping on the Magnificent Mile, and we accomplished that on Saturday. Cara was her usual go-with-the-flow self, she makes it so easy to bring her wherever we want to go.

When walking down Michigan I was reminded of that same walk about one year ago with Cyndi, Danilo, and Grandma A when we visited Chicago. I am sure they are thinking the same thing when they see these pictures!!
