Glorious Week of Weather

What a Glorious Week we had here in Chicago...the weather was absolutely perfect, sunshine, warm weather, no bugs and family and friends.  Tyler was home for spring break, and we took advantage of having him here.  I miss my oldest, and it is nice for Ava Grace to have her oldest boy home.

We took advantage of the zoo:
her favorite was the monkeys

do you see the baby monkey

he just started this week

leaving his mother

so cute

Ava got up close with a goat 

We watched the dolphin show

this is Ava while she is watching

after I snapped this picture

a dolphin splashed us and got my camera all wet

so I had to put it away

she was a little shocked when we got wet, but then started laughing 

the next day we went Downtown

first we waited for the train

then we rode the train into the city 

We went to Willis Tower (formally known as Sears tower)

we went out on the glass ledge they had

Ava thought it was great 

then we walked to the "bean" 

Ava had such a fun day and was exhausted

she fell asleep on Tyler during the train ride home

so sweet

I don't know what it is with sunshine and warm weather, I just feel like a different person.  I feel renewed and joyful, so happy for this week with Tyler and the nice weather.
