Mini-Vacation

Last week, we took the kids to Chicago for a mini-vacation.  We went to Shedd Aquarium, ate at Ed Debevics, walked around Olivet's campus (there was a major construction project and they were getting ready to host the Bears' training camp), visited the American Girl and Lego stores, and walked Navy Pier.  We packed a lot into two short days.  I think my favorite part was seeing the faces of the kids as our waiter at Ed's called them losers and dork faces, and then joined the other waiters as they danced on the counter to the YMCA.  Cami was stunned, Lexi giggled, and Griffin started hollering names back at the waiter.  It was priceless.
