Sitting down to write this makes me think of the 2 different stories I could tell. They are very different from each other! Two different sides of the city of Chicago. I decided to tell the "good" one.
Troy and I took the kids to Grant Park for the fireworks display on the 3rd (Chicago has to be different). The Taste of Chicago was also going on so we decided to take our dinner with us. We took the train down. Annie loved it! She continually asked, "Where's the train going?" and "Cool mommy!" Brenden was constantly talking about all that he was seeing. He correctly identified the Hancock Building and its spires as well as the Serious (Sears) Tower. When we finally got there we wandered around and took in all the glorious sights and smells. There was a great number of police men and women much to Brenden's delight! He even got to sit on a police ATV!! The officer graciously allowed him to climb up, put on his helmet and smiled for the camera!
When the fireworks went off, Annie promptly climbed into the stroller and pulled down the shade so she could not see anything! Very cute! Brenden was in heaven! He kinda drifted off at the end but did his best! Then we and millions of others made a bee line for the "L". We waited in line to be let onto the platform and then waited for the train. Once on, we watched Brenden fall asleep standing up! Our night was over when we made it home around midnight. Amazing journey!
I will miss Chicago!!
