Chicago Tourists

I had a grand idea that we should be tourists in Chicago while Papa was in town. We headed out to Navy Pier on a picture perfect fall evening. Amelia had been asking about riding the ferris wheel so we set out with that as our only goal for the evening. I also had a grand idea that Papa with his awesome camera and photography talents would get a picture of us on the ferris wheel. And naturally it didn't turn out that way...

Juliet had no intentions of sitting down or cooperating in any fashion. Amelia, I think, was very overwhelmed by the size, being up high, etc. She just wanted to be held tight by her dad and certainly didn't want her picture taken.

Amelia was fairly distraught when we got off the ferris wheel but a ride on the carousel got her back to herself.

Al Fresco dining on the Pier

Amelia got (I think) her first ice cream cone. Typically we get her a cup and maybe a cone but it still is always in the cup.

Juliet helped herself to all of her dad's ice cream. We should learn by now that Juliet demands her own ice cream...
