Wrapping up Chicago: Part 4

I will finish up the Chicago posts.  I'm actually almost done.  I think I should have only 1 left. There's a light at the end of the tunnel, people!

They updated the playground at Hollywood Park (maybe a mile north of our apartment) and it reopened just before we moved.  We had to try out all the new equipment.  The favorite from the trip was the "merry-go-round."

It's only a little bit like the merry-go-rounds we grew up with.  This one was a lot tamer. There were seats and the person pushing had to push a whole lot harder to get it moving.  It also stopped spinning almost immediately after you stop pushing.  It makes for a much better workout for the person pushing though.

Go, go! That's Sanne, one of Addilyn's friends, who came with us to check out all the newness.

One of the box staging areas.  We had a few of these areas.  Wow, we have a lot of stuff!

We took a break from the packing to make one more visit to the Field Museum.  Hey Sue!

Here we were recreating a picture we took the first time we visited.  Go here to see the original.

Munch, munch.

Ahhhhhh!

The kids were pretty fascinated by this whole touch screen thing.

Tyler was on the phone with U-haul trying to get the truck pickup figured out.  Moving is fun.

Pondering the stegosaurus.

We finished the outing with a failed attempt to get a family picture.  The skyline looks great but we're so dark you can't see us.  Stink.  Apparently, I have much to learn about photography.
