day in the city
Today Audrey and I went to Chicago with Sara, Jack and Emma. Getting on and off the train and up and down stairs with the baby, stroller and gear was a task, but we had a fun day. Audrey was happy the entire time and took in all of the new experiences in stride.
We took the metra in - Audrey's first ever train ride.
Our first stop was visiting Todd at work. We met some of Todd's co-workers and took in the views of the city from 63 floors up. Audrey impressed Todd's fellow librarian Sara with her crawling skills.

Next we headed to Millenium Park. We watched as Jack and Emma played in the Crown Fountain then we picniced under the Pritzker Pavillion.
Audrey liked looking at her reflection in Cloud Gate, aka "the bean".
Can you find our reflection?
We took a water taxi down the Chicago River back to Union Station. Audrey fell asleep in her stroller on the walk there. I did not want to wake her so Sara and I carried her in the stroller down several flights of stairs. Audrey did wake up in time to enjoy her first ride on a boat. Afterwards there were more stairs to climb. Thank you Sara!!!

I think Audrey, Jack & Emma have seen more of Chicago than I have. How lucky they all are to have moms that are good buddies and like to get together for outings.
Looking forward to warm summer days next year so you can all hang out at my pool.
Love,
