We spent a weekend in September with Grandma and Grandpa Wetherell. We traveled to Chicago for our first big overnight trip. We visited the Lincoln Park Zoo, spent the night in a hotel (for the first time) and went to the Children's Museum at Navy Pier too.
Lincoln Park Zoo was great! The weather was beautiful and the animals were amazing. I think we all agree that the gorillas and apes were our favorite exhibit! We were a little upset that there were no elephants. At the time, that was the only animal noise Trent could really make!
As you can see, the train was a big hit! He rode it all by himself, even though he was not quite three (not even close) and was no where near tall enough either! Oh well, he's a professional- he even stood up to give us the devilish "look at me" smile.
We were all pooped when we left the zoo!
The next day, we went into town to Navy Pier on our way back home. We wanted to check out the Children's Museum. Once again, Thomas the Train was a big hit! This time Trent was "big enough" to ride the train, but the man operating the train was a little confused about Trent's family. Were we his siblings?? Was Grandpa his Uncle?? and Grandma his Mom?? He really didn't know, but it didn't matter he let Trent ride a second time for free! Thanks Grandma for helping support that confused old man and giving Trent another free ride!
What a great weekend!
