Millennium Park

Today Owen and I took a trip downtown and met the Elseners and Peros at Millennium Park.

We started out the morning with a visit to the bean.  Owen was more interested in

running circles around it than he was posing with it, but we got a few shots in.

 Then we went to the Family Fun tent for a Wiggleworms concert.  He was a little apprehensive

at first with so many other kids around, but before you know it he was up dancing, stomping

his feet and clapping.  Then after a minute or two he would run back and dive into my lap to

make sure I was still there.  He'd barely sit for five seconds before he'd be up on 

his feet again enjoying the music.

After about 20 minutes of the concert Owen had his fill and wanted to explore the other 

activities the Family Fun tent had to offer.  He and his friends played with the hula hoops,

then went over to the giant sized checker board to stack some monster checkers.

Our last piece of entertainment before a relaxing picnic lunch was the fountains.

As you can probably imagine, this was Owen's favorite part of the day.  The sign specifically 

states, "No Running," but obviously they do not know my son. 

 Thankfully we were able to escape without any major falls, which is always a good day in 

my book.  What a great way to spend one of the few remaining summer days we have left.
