We stayed at the Marriott on the Magnificient Mile and the fav things per our kids were visiting the American Girl Place store, Lego Store, and checking out the "bean" aka Cloud Gate!
Our children (thankfully) haven't really been exposed to poverty, so this trip was a real eye opener for Olivia (5 year old). She told us repeatedly that she's really worried about the homeless people and doesn't want to live in Chicago because there are lots of homeless people there and it's so sad. Dan and I are trying to explain this to her and decided to pray for them tonight before bed with her.
It's neat to see such compassion at such a young age. Hopefully through HIM, we can instill hardworking ethics along with love and compassion in her!
Peace & Blessings,
