Shortly after we got back from Utah we went to a carnival with some friends. Everything was free except the food. The kids had fun with face painting, petting zoo, race cars, balloon animals, childrens museum display, velcro wall and more. It was to celebrate our town turning 100! I love it when there are fun free things to do.
On the 4th we headed downtown to attend the Taste of Chicago and to check out Navy Pier. Adams sister and family came with us and we had a wonderful time. The kids enjoyed taking the Metra and trolley. Anika and Celtin were such troopers as we did A LOT of walking. We tried yummy food...my favorite was Eli's frozen cheesecake on a stick covered in chocolate and toffee! YUMMY!! It was cool to be downtown and we will make many more trips because there is tons to do. The only down side was that my sister in law lost her purse and spent an hour trying to find it with no luck. I hate it when stuff like that happens-luckily it was on our way home so it didn't ruin the entire day.
