Chicago!

We did it!  Our first family of six vacation (trip)!  We flew to Chicago to visit our cousins and check out their new home in the cutest town of Wheaton.  Four days of forced Farris - Fowler family fun.  It was exhausting and we all loved every bit of it.  
  
Here we go!  The flight was direct, a little under 2 hours and didn't leave till 2pm.  I wanted us to have plenty of time in everything that we did incase disaster strikes.  It was the easiest check-in I have ever experienced.  We were practically the only people there.  Everyone got all their dookies our before boarding and Winnie only had one outfit change.  We didn't lose any luggage or kids.  It was as smooth as it was going to be.

Lucky mommy! Everyone wanted to sit with me.  The flight was smooth, Winnie ate and slept, Theo was super annoying, and we drank lots of Sprite and ate lots of candy.

Cousins!  Reunited and it feels so good.

First things first, ice cream.  You can walk downtown from their house,  the weather was glorious and  it was good to be off of transportation.

We headed to Chicago for the day and hit up the zoo.  It is right in the city, free, and amazing.  

I thought the monkeys were hysterical.  These guys loved the tiger.  I can't believe anyone would ever let their kid climb on a railing and fall in an exhibit...

The Bean!  Obligatory family photo.

They have an awesome park right by the Bean that the kids played at for hours.  Crazy faces in front of the skyline.

We got fresh haircuts from Uncle Kyle.

Therefor we got to walk downtown to the Popcorn store, aka a wall of candy.  

Date night!  Plus a sweet Winnie.

Sista - Sista!

 
Group shot before we left!  It went really well.  :)

Late night flight home.  Love this picture of these BFF / worst enemies / can't get enough of each other / never talk to me again brothers.
