Once in the city, we decided to take a water taxi to Michigan Ave because that's the most fun way to get around the city (well except for horse carriages... or pedicabs). They liked the boat ride, just not as much as the train ride.
Upon arrival we walked to Millennium Park to see the infamous Bean. For all the times I worked and visited the city, I have never actually seen it. By the time we got there, Wyatt and Charlotte were both passed out so it was only Noah who actually got to see his reflection.
Next we visited the famous faces fountain (or whatever it's called). The boys loved frolicking back and forth in the water. I'll have to remember to dress them in swim trunks the next time we visit.
It was a pretty overcast day, but we thought that would keep some of the crowds away.
Next, we headed over to Maggie Daley Park. Despite the weather (and it had begun to sprinkle at this point), Maggie Daley was pretty crowded. There was at least one summer camp there as well. We tried to do the park in pieces (they have it set up that way and each park has recommended ages posted). The smaller ones were easy to keep track of the kids, but the biggest one was a little bit of a challenge. I had to stay with Charlotte and keep my eyes on one of the boys while Nick followed around the other. But they had a great time climbing and sliding and exploring (except for Nick almost getting stuck inside the lighthouse).
We also visited Buckingham Fountain
