Daddy's Spring Break
Mom and Dad had different spring breaks this year so for week 1, Grace and Dad got to hang out for a couple of days.
First we went to the Shedd Aquarium
Outside Soldier Field where we parked.
We also tried to go to Pump It Up but they were full when we got there so we went to the mall instead to play in the play area. The Easter Bunny was there and they were nice enough to let us take a picture for free.
Grace also helped dad build her first snowman
Later in the week, Mom's cousin Val came down to visit from Detroit with her family. We took them downtown to the Chicago Children's Museum at Navy Pier.
Grace playing in the tree house.
In her paleontologist duds.
Driving the ambulance
The gang
Building a skyscraper.
We also went to the Kohl Children's Museum of Bullying and Bad Manners. Grandma Carroll got Grace a membership card for her birthday. We've used it three times already at three different museums and Mom says the Kohl museum has the worst behaved children. Thank god it's the one that's most convenient for us.
Playing vet giving her cat and ferret a checkup.
Putting on her own face paint.
Checking out at the grocery store.
Learning how to juggle.

3 Day Weekend
We had a long weekend for President's Day this week.
We took Grace to the Museum of Science and Industry. Here she is with mom in front of the Zephyr.
Checking out the model railroad.
Driving the tractor.
We have something like this at the Kohl Children's Museum of Bullying and Bad Manners so naturally it was the first thing she wanted to do.

Funhouse mirror at the circus exhibit.

Baba and Papa came over for Valentine's Day so we could go out to dinner and a movie.
Grace got Baba some flowers.
