Chicago November 30th to December 1st, 2007

Grandma and Grandpa Stephens let us come up to Chicago to spend time with them. We packed our air mattress and slept on the floor of their hotel room at the Conrad. It was cramped, but hey it beats paying for a hotel downtown. Josh had a blast. The hotel had the neatest Christmas trees and Josh loved them. The hotel was also connected to the mall, so Josh got to play at the Lego store alot. He couldn't get enough of Chicago. He loved to explore and there was endless things to see.

We had a blast walking in downtown Chicago. The buildings are amazing and it is always fun around Christmas because of all the decorations.

Here's Josh at the Shed Aquarium with Grandma. This picture is so funny to me because Josh is plugging his ears. After I saw him doing this I realized that it was really loud in that part of the aquarium. He's a smart kid! Josh and Grandpa had a great time.

Josh's nose must have been pretty itchy.

Josh loves the balouga whales. We watched them for a long time.

Josh watching the Dolphin show. It was his favorite part. He clapped at every trick they did and afterwards he kept signing the word "more."

Josh at the Shed Aquarium Museum Restaurant. We had the most awesome table. It overlooked Chicago and part of Lake Michigan.

Josh's favorite part of the restaurant were the fancy glass cups. I've never seen him drink so much and it was just cute because he is way too little for the cups, but he seemed like a pro.

Josh amazed at all the fish. The Aquarium was a big success.
