Staycation Day

A couple of weeks ago one of Matt's coworkers won a free catered lunch from Noodles and Company. Well, if you offer free food, we will come! Matt took a day off and we all headed into the city. We went up to Matt's office to visit the folks at InsidEdge and collect our free lunch. Gavin had a great time trying all the new foods available to him (have I mentioned he's eating Gluten again?). His favorite was the tofu (the child GAGS on any and all vegetables, but loves tofu... go figure!) and he went back again and again for it. It was also the weekend of the Air and Water show so we got to see the Blue Angels practicing outside Matt's window. So fun!

After lunch we took a walk down to Millenium Park. It was about 99 degrees with 99 percent humidity, so it was hot and smelly. We took pictures with the Bean.... what's better on a hot day than posing next to a gigantic reflective surface? We are cruel, cruel parents!

After we started to melt over at the Bean we decided we'd better head over to the fountains to cool off.

The boys had fun splashing, but Ella was terrified of the faces!

We ended the day at the Chicago Children's Museum.

Matt occasionally gets free passes from work and ya'll know we love us some free stuff!

This girl is an angel! It was hot, she skipped all her naps and was ignored most of the day. Never. Complained.

To be honest, we didn't do much this summer.

I just didn't have the energy to drag all four kids around by myself.

This was a great day. I think we were all happy to be out and about.
