Spring Break Trip to Chicago 2014

We headed to Chicago for a few days over Spring Break.  Unfortunately, Zach woke up Friday feeling terrible.  After a quick trip to Convenient Care, we headed to Walgreen's for some antibiotics for his strep.  Zach's second mama and papa invited him to stay there so Brian, Jacob, Lizzie and I could go ahead to Chicago.  We decided to do just that.  

We spent the first day at the Field Museum.  



At this exhibit, Lizzie learned about dung.  She immediately said (in a loud exasperated voice), "POOP?????  Why in the world would they put POOP in here?"  I wish it ended there, but it went on and on.  By the end of the day, she had embraced the word dung and even turned it into a verb!  


Taking a quick break 



I think our favorite exhibit was the animals.  Jacob loved this panda.  I was amazed that many of the animals are over 100 years old.  It is amazing how they can preserve them.  


Lizzie was so excited to see a "pecan."  "Look mommy!!  It's a pecan!!"  She meant peacock!

We enjoyed our day at the Field Museum and the next day shopping and playing downtown.  We missed Zach.  That poor guy - instead of getting better, he got worse and his fever kept going up!  His strep did not respond to the antibiotics and when we got home Sunday he took another trip to Convenient Care for a shot and new antibiotics.  We are so thankful for Mama and Papa G for taking care of our sick guy!
