{Navy Pier, Art Institute, the Bean, BLUE MAN!}

Caitlan, Sean's older younger sister flew in on Sunday the 10. We were so excited to have her with us for 2 weeks!

On Monday I took the girls down to the wonderful Woodfield mall near our house. Great shops - it was wonderful. Also, being pregnant this summer is helping us save a lot of money because going shopping is not quite the same, haha. But, we had an enjoyable time, great lunch at Red Robins, and got a mani/pedi. 

Tuesday I took the girls downtown by myself. We started by going down to Navy Pier for lunch at Bubba Gumps - delicious! Also, we had a super cute waiter who was not at all shy about flirting with all 3 of us haha. Oh man, I haven't gone out to eat without the husband um.... pretty much ever so that totally caught me off guard, but you can bet we gave him a nice tip :)

After lunch we were planning on taking a speedboat tour of the city, but apparently they STRONGLY advice pregnant women not to go on the tour because it's "like a roller coaster" and they "don't want them to go into labor" haha.....so, we did not go that route.

Instead, we took a ride on the Ferris Wheel

Both of the girls were a little bit nervous at first - that thing goes really high!

But, they enjoyed it!

After the Ferris Wheel we hopped on a bus and went to the art institute. Neither of the girls were super excited about going, but I said that they needed to and it was part of their cultural education. Overall they enjoyed it - Megan really liked the historic furniture section.

After the museum we went across the street to visit the bean and these face fountains:

The girls had a good time making faces:

The husband then met us downtown and we went out to eat at a Thai restaurant before our BLUE MAN GROUP SHOW!! woot woot!!! This was the third time I had been to one of their shows - the first time was when I was in Chicago 3 years ago with the highschool band, and the second was 2 years ago when we saw them in Orlando on our honeymoon. It was just as good of a show! Love them:

Caitlan had been before and loved it the second time, but this was Megan's first time to see them. She was confused how 3 drummers could be entertaining, but she was quickly convinced. She was laughing the whole time - so fun! Also, our little baby quite enjoyed the show! Those drum beats were quite loud and the baby could sure hear/feel it! She was dancing and going crazy through the whole show - so fun!!!

I can't believe all the fun things we've been able to see while we've been here!
