A view of the Chicago skyline from the Eisenhower Expressway (I think)After dropping Mom off at the airport on Saturday, we went down to Navy Pier and took the kids to the Chicago Children's Museum. We didn't brave the train that day... It cost us $24 to park, but were very pleasantly surprised when we got to the museum and found out that admission for active duty military and their families was free! So I decided I couldn't complain about spending the $24 for parking - it turned out to be a really fun (and cheap) day down at Navy Pier.
The kids had a great time. They played in water, bowled, did crafts, climbed, fished, were paleontologists, and so much more! I so wish we lived closer to a place that had all of these things! Here's a few pictures:

They had this really cool area of shadow play. One part had rocks falling on you, and the other screen had butterflies. I have no idea how it works, but it was really neat. There were rocks falling straight down on the screen, then when you stood in front of the screen and created a shadow, the rocks would divert their course according to your shadow's positioning.
The butterflies would fly around you, and would land on you occasionally.
We're trying to raise our kids to be self sufficient...
