Chicago-Day 3

Day three began with an early morning after a late night. Autumn had some trouble being in the same room with us all and sleeping. Therefore, we were all a bit tired as we headed to Shedd Aquarium. We did have a pretty good time though. Autumn did have a melt down after a couple of hours, so she and Grandma went back to the hotel early.
Here are the girls enjoying the fish displays in the very beginning. (Still happy!)
After Autumn and Grandma went back, Jayna and I enjoyed a dolphin show. Here is one jumping in the air. These are the only two pictures I took while at the aquarium. We then went back to the hotel ourselves for some food and a small bit of down time. When we were all feeling refreshed, we headed down to the Navy Pier. It was a short walk from our hotel...
Us girls were enjoying our time together as we began this next adventure.
These girls love their grandma!
And she loves them! (I absolutely love this picture!)
Jayna, Autumn and I rode the "horsie ride." This was Autumn's first time. She kept saying, "WEE!"
Here we are with our friends, Kay, Kaytlin and Talayah (sleeping in the stroller).
A tired Jayna holds her dear friends hand as we walked to our seat for the fireworks. I didn't catch any pictures of the fireworks, but they were really neat. Then, we walked back to the hotel and headed to bed. The girls fell fast asleep. Grandma and I enjoyed some adult talk time until late, but it was so worth it. We had another fun-filled day. (I do have some very cute pictures of the girls playing in the water at the pier, but I will share them later.) Stay tuned...
