Labor Day Weekend

We took a day trip to Chicago on Saturday. It was a beautiful day outside and we all had a great time. We started off the day with a stop at the Jellybean. Brooks and Hudson love it and last time we were in Chicago it was rainy and cold, so it was fun to see it in nice weather.


We picked up a couple CTA passes and some Garrett's popcorn for a morning snack. We hopped on a bus and headed to Navy Pier to go to the Children's Museum. We are able to get in for free with our membership to our local museum.



The boys loved the area where they could build, and also the place where you make your own airplane to launch.

We then hopped on the train to head up to Roscoe Village for lunch at our favorite Guatemalan restaurant. The boys love to ride the train, and particularly the red line since it starts as a subway and then turns into an elevated train outside of downtown. We enjoyed eating lunch outside and then headed across the street to scour for bargains at Village Discount.

Sunday, Ryan has his final race of the season at Town Run Park in Indianapolis. It was sprinkling at the start of the race and unfortunately turned into a harder rain. I took the boys to Trader Joes during the race (they take 2 hours) and we arrived in time to see Ryan finish. Unfortunately, he didn't have that great of a race due to the rain and to an early spill which left him scraped up and bruised. No broken bones or bike though!

Today we meet some friends at Chick-Fil-A to get some free food. If you were wearing team apparel, you got a free chicken sandwich. The boys love to play in the play area there.
