Last Day in Chicago

Today was the last day in Illinois for Lily, Lydia and Mary. The weather was perfect again and they spent their time in Chicago. Lily did not sleep much last night so she didn’t feel super well, but otherwise, it was a completely perfect day.

I feel like they’ve bean here before…..

Lily effused to me about how amazing this play park was. It was only recently built.

Then they went to a museum about writing, and loved it!

Lily took this picture. I adore you too honey. Lily is life!!!!!!!

Lily told me that Lydia and Mary were completely enthralled by the type-writer. They couldn’t get enough of it, and typed a lot.

Then they saw an exhibit about the environment and energy etc. I assume this was at a new museum.

There was also a neat dancing feature that reminded Lily of one at the Nashville museum of African-American music.

I think Lily said they learned about things Chicago needs to do to be more environmentally friendly with its buildings.

Taking the “L” to the airport.

And now I’m about to go pick them up!!

Also, today Mary’s teacher, Shannon Hyatt, shared photos from throughout the school-year with us. I put a few here in the blog. To me it’s a poetic way to end this entry. Mary loved school and her classmates so much that she was super upset when she learned that she’d miss the last couple days of school because of the Chicago trip. She even said she’d rather not go to Chicago! Of course, I’m positive she’s now glad she went! I think she was just crushed int he moment.
