Luke and Paige were off school on Columbus Day (2015) and it was going to be a beautiful 70 degree day so I took the day off too and we headed out for a fun "Mommy & Big Kid" Day!
We dropped Ty off at daycare and hopped on the train!
This was Paige's first train ride and Luke hadn't been on a train since he was 2 so they were both excited!
Once we arrived downtown, our plan was to walk straight to Maggie Daley Park (us and a thousand other people!).
I'm not going to lie, it was super overwhelming at first. The park is huge and there were so many people. The most worrisome part is that all of the slides are tunnels and the way to get to the slides is enclosed. You basically lose sight of your kid until they come down the slide - super nerve-wracking! Luckily, Luke & Paige are great kids who listened to their momma that day and followed the very important rules of sticking together and staying in one area at a time. They always knew were I was standing and I didn't take my eyes off of the area they were at. Once we got that down, we were all able to enjoy ourselves!
Obsessed with the slides!
We made our way to Millenium Park and "the bean" and then across the street to the Shake Shack for lunch. After lunch we hit up the park one more time before catching the train to head home. It was a such a great day and absolutely perfect Chicago weather!
