we took the metra train into the city today with maddie & nicole to head over to millenium park. i don't know what parents let their children take the train unattened, but listening to a bunch of 15 year old boys swearing at each other wasn't particularly enjoyable. i think the girls were agitated, too-they didn't seem to enjoy the ride as much as usual.
we took the bus over to the park & took the girls to see the bean. ella thought it was pretty cool, but then discovered the fences around the bean that were much cooler.
we grabbed lunch at bennigans & a special thanks to our server who smiled at us while two little toddlers flung food, smeared food & yelled. it was a good lunch! (also, bennigans fries are pretty delicious!)
we left there & headed back to the park, where it had turned chilly, but suited up the girls for their promised run through the faces fountains. maddie was a little unsure, ella was into it full-force until the incident occurred. we won't talk about it, but enough to say it was time to put dry clothes back on & head home.
train home, maddie passed out & ella mumbling about...something?
& now it's naptime.
there are so many things i want to do with ella in the city. she's an awesome traveler (usually). the taste, outdoor concerts, museums...etc. i'm so happy it's summer!
