Chicago

Took a family trip to Chicago over Labor Day weekend for Jeremy's (Mark's brother) wedding. It was a fast trip but it was fun to see Mark's extended family and do a little sightseeing...Mark lived in Chicago for 9 years in Junior High/High School but I had never been to the city so it was great to check out a new place.

Asher also experienced his first time on an airplane! We were nervous about the trip but packed plenty of distractions to keep him occupied. His "carry on" bag full of toys, books, and movies was way larger than any bag Mark and I brought!

At the Denver airport getting ready to head out
Settled into our seats...and doing good so far!

Millennium Park in Downtown Chicago
This "bean" has become a huge tourist spot in the downtown area...it's pretty fun to take pictures of:


The Chicago SkylineAsh didn't get much sleep on the trip and, by the time the wedding came, he was all tuckered out! Love this picture though...so sweet!Gotta have the family shot -
(For the record, Asher did have a nice, new button-up shirt for the wedding but, unfortunately, by the time this picture was taken he had already spit up sweet potato all over it....mmmm. Hence the reason he is in a onesie at a formal wedding...hey, you gotta let some things go right?)
