A Special Day in the City

Last Saturday, Wally, Luke and me spent the day in Chicago to celebrate Luke turning 5!  When I asked Luke the night before if he wanted to spend the day with just the 3 of us, his response was "Why?".  I always hope for a great reaction, but this kid is so even-keeled!  Hopefully we get a little more excitement out of him when we tell him we are going to Disney.

In any case, we went and he did end up having a great time - we all did!

We parked at Water Tower Place and walked about a mile to our first stop. It was chilly, but Luke didn't seem to mind and we just had fun walking along and looking at the buildings! Our first stop was lunch at Rainforest Café.  This was Luke's first time there and he loved it!











Cha Cha!



My cheeser!



They even sang Happy Birthday to Luke!



Nothing like some dirt & worms!



He thought it was cool to wear Daddy's scarf!



Our next stop was a walk through the Disney Store and then we headed to the Broadway Playhouse at Water Tower Place to see Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer the Musical!





The show was so cute - even Wally and I really enjoyed it! The theater is just perfect for little kids - not a bad seat there! After the show, we made one last stop to the Lego store.





It was such a fun day and I think we all needed a special day with just the 3 of us!
