Summertime Fun: Part 4, Cousins and Chicago

I know, I know...school has officially started, but that doesn't mean Summer is over yet, right? Our last "hoorah" of the summertime was a trip to Chicago to visit family. The kiddos had so much fun playing with cousins they don't see nearly enough. Plus, we took in some fun family activities while we were there:

Bouncing fun with the cousins

 Our first visit to Legoland!

 
 Little Man is hooked...he could have stayed all day!

 We visited a fun restaurant called Choo Choo in Des Plaines, IL. 
It's like stepping back in time 60 years. They had the BEST
shakes and malts (the burgers were good, too!). But the best part was
that the food comes to you on a train! The kids LOVED it!

 Waiting for the food train!

 
Little Conductor Man

We did a little swimming and a lot of hanging out and just having fun. We were also happy to celebrate a birthday with a very special little girl...thanks for sharing your birthday with us, Manda!

We had TONS of fun at the Lego Discovery Ctr in Chicago last summer! There's so much to do there that we'd love to go back and see more since we only had 1 day there.
