When we got tickets to the BYU vs Notre Dame game back in october, we decided to make a big trip out of it. On the way up to Chicago we made a stop at some church sites.
Such a pretty, simple temple inside and out.
Isn't this view to die for? I love the trees and fresh, green grass. It was so gorgeous!
The next day we visited Chicago!
Our first stop was Wrigley Field. We walked around and even got a peak inside at the field while they had large doors open.
We loved seeing everyone's stadium seats on top of their buildings.
I love myself some hotdogs and isn't Chicago a must if you want a hotdog?! Hot Doug's came highly rated, but I have to say I wasn't too impressed with it. It was good, but not the best hotdog I've ever had.
As we were walking back to the car we noticed this pig with a broken leg. Over the summer when my parents were visiting when Landon was born we went to a local farm. There was a baby goat with a cast on his leg and Beau was so concerned about it! He couldn't stop talking about it and told everyone he met about "the goat with the broken yeg". We even went back later that week when my parents were still here to see the goat again and they had just taken the cast off! He was a little disappointed he didn't see it again. So when we saw this pig "with a broken yeg" we had to get a picture with it.
We decided to do something Beau would enjoy so we went to an Aquarium! He loved it!
This was his favorite spot. Once we found this water feature he was done. He didn't want to see anymore and didn't want to leave. Every time we tried to get him to see something else he would turn around and run right back to it.
After the aquarium we went to Navy Pier. The weather was just getting worse. Cold and rainy. But we were able to get a ride on the ferris wheel, since it was invented in Chicago we had to, before it started raining too hard.
Then in the pouring rain we went to see the bean! I was really disappointed that it was raining because I was looking forward to seeing the bean the most. And all of our shoes got soaked to and from the bean. We had to take hair dryers to them to dry them out in time for the game the next day.
We ate at a famous deep dish pizza, because you can't go to Chicago without getting some authentic deep dish. And it was so yummy!!! I wish I could get more! Chicago was such a pretty place (even in the rain) and I'm so glad that I got to experience a little taste of what it had to offer.
