Chicago November 2009 Part 1

We spent a few days in Chicago this fall. The main event was Maggie and Ralph's wedding. She's one of my best friends and cousin. I'm still waiting on some photos from the big day, so I'll do another post when they come in. We came in a few days before the wedding so we had some time to visit with my big sister, Nancy. We took a trip to the Nature Museum down by the lake on the first day.
They had a neat butterfly room. Hundreds of butterflies flying freely in their own big room. Lucy was a little apprehensive at first, but then she thought it was pretty neat. Especially when this one landed on Daddy's brightly colored shirt.
Afterward, we had time to play in the leaves a bit. We just don't get the volume of leaves up here like they do in Chicago :(
On day 2, I was busy helping with my wedding duties for the big day so the family headed out with out me. They went down to Navy Pier and visited the Children's Museum. The main attraction for Lucy was all the water activities. They provided rain gear to keep your kids dry. From what I heard, she would have stayed there all day if she could have!
Finally some down time with cousin Jack at Aunt Nancy's house. Aren't they adorable?
