Happy 4th of July!

We had a great time in Chicago! Ava loved it and can't wait to go back!! :)

We drove up on Thursday and checked into our hotel - The Millenium Knickerbocker. It was REALLY nice! Thank you Priceline! The room was pretty small but we managed.



Our friend Jason lives in Chicago so we met up with him and went to eat at The Cheesecake Factory. YUM! Travis even liked it though he didn't get to go to the sushi place. Sorry dear! I'm not 'there' yet with sushi!



Mom and John arrived Friday on the Amtrak and hung out with Ava while we were at the game. :) I officially take TOO many pictures and Travis is officially too tall (or am I too short?). I think I've said this before but it's hard to take vertical pictures of us. Notice his head is usually cut off! (below)

Before we left...Don't you just love Ava's outfit?? And of course, the bow!



Our view from the rooftop...



Some shots from the game...we had a lot of different groups of friends there. We had SOOO much fun!



Happy 4th of July...



We hung out at Kim and Craig's when we got back. Somehow these are the only 3 pics I took--even though I know I just said I officially take too many pictures. hmmmm...



I'm so cute!!!!!!!!

What fun pictures! Glad you had a good trip. Ava is officially the most expressive baby I think I've ever seen! I love her big eyes and some of those faces she make just crack me up! She is such a cutie.
