We started off at Six Flags...
Taylor rode her first big coaster. She liked it but did NOT want to do it again.
Brooks tried to trick Kaicee into riding a coaster that went upside down, but she saw the loop while they were waiting in line and they ended up with us over at the pirate ride instead.
We were finally able to convince her to ride American Eagle, the largest wooden coaster. Breck, Taylor, and I hung out at the County Fair.
Taylor looked forward all day to riding the Carousel before we headed to the water park.
Our day ended at Hurricane Harbor water park.Followed by Lego Land...
All the animals were made completely out of Lego's.
Taylor insisted that I take her picture by Santa.
The best part of Lego Land...we got in for FREE! Normally it's $20/adult and $15/child. One of the managers let us use his family pass because it was his last day and he hadn't used it yet. Nothing like a good deal to make the day even better!
Oh yeah, we stopped at Red Mango for some all nat-ur-el frozen yogurt...YUMMO! It was the best ever!...and dinner at Medieval Times.
We cheered for the blue knight.
Taylor caught one of the flowers he threw out to the girls.
Our knight chose Kaicee to receive his ribbon, "Queen of beauty and honor."
Kaicee was so excited to have her picture taken with our knight after the dinner.We ended up at Willis (Sears) Tower....
I am extremely afraid of heights so I was worried that I would chicken out when it came time to stand on the glass lookout ledge...but it was so cool to stand out there and look straight down. 104 stories below! And it made for some awesome pictures too!
You can't see the city in the background, but we'll take what we can get when we actually get a picture of just the two of us together!
Our last night there, we stayed in the Magnificent Mile and walked down to American Girl. We walked out with only a catalog for each girl so they could start their Christmas wish lists.And the girls favorite part of the entire trip.....
Icee drinks on the way home!What a great time away!
Sam and I are icee obsessed :) I'm glad you were able to get away for such a great weekend!!
