Annual Ladies Trip to Chicago

Wow what a difference a year makes!! Below is a picture of Harper sitting at Giordano's pizza from each year she has attended the annual Chicago trip...



Miss Harper at almost 6 months old.







Our big girl at 18 months.





Now for a few other pictures from the trip:







Dinner our first night at The Weber Grill







All three of us at dinner







Grams' babysitting method while mommy ran (and Grams for ready for the day)





This year marked the start of a new activity during our trip. Harper was such a trooper through all of the shopping, dining out, etc. so we spent Sunday doing something that was for HER...The Chicago Children's Museum. We all had a great time.





They had an "indoor snow" exhibit that was really cute!




Harps and Grams getting ready to hit the "ice"







Sliding around on the rink







More "ice skating"







Loving on one of the snowmen







Building snow towers with mommy







Checking out the kitchen (one of her favorite activities lately)







Harper asking Grams how she should cook all the food... clearly Grams was having a hard time with the cooking advice.







Washing her hands afterwards (she loves anything her height)







She did not like mommy's attempt to measure her height







Checking out the garden in the "Big Backyard"







Stopping to smell the flowers 







Testing out another flower







She found a slide that made music as you slid down.... she got her money's worth out of it!







One of her many trips down the slide







Harper was unsure of the tunnel until Grams volunteered to climb in too!







Loving the water tables







More water fun (the raincoats were adorable, but Harper still managed to pour water down her sleeve)







Mommy and Harper splashing around







Chicago Fire's newest helper







Last night pizza at Giordano's.  She was glad to get to taste the good stuff this time (last year she wasn't eating solids yet!)
