This past weekend we took the kids to Chicago! We left Saturday morning and came home Sunday night. It was a lot of work, but also a lot of fun! The kids (while the girls :)) loved all the new experiences and really enjoyed it! McLleyton did well. He wasn't a big fan of the long car rides and didn't take the good naps I had hoped he would, but he was pretty good!
The adventure of all sleeping in a hotel room was fun! We got a suite so we did have two rooms with a door in between, which was very helpful! McLleyton thought it was very funny that he could stand up and look at his sisters! We ended up having to take him into our room in the middle of the night, because he continually would just stand up and call "Ro Ro, Shae Shae" over and over again!
On Sunday, we spent the day at the Shedd Aquarium. McLleyton definitely enjoyed seeing all the turtles and the girls enjoyed being back again and remembering different things from when we went last spring.
I love watching them learn through new experiences ... it makes all the work worth it :).
Ready for bed...
I made them little surprise baskets for the morning ...a little extra motivation to obey and go right to bed ... and a few things to occupy them when they woke up extra early!

Check out what McLleyton got to try (only when you're third born and go on vacation!)
