Easter Day in Chicago

We went into downtown Chicago on Easter Day.

Ellie played with giant dominoes at the Chicago Children's Museum on Navy Pier.


While Maddie had fun looking at her reflection in the mirror.


And trying to eat pretend vegetables.


Ellie dug up some dinosaur bones.


Then relaxed in a comfy leather chair at Eddie Bauer.


John and Maddie people watching at Starbucks.


Ellie eating grapes for snack #14 of the day.


John and his girls.


Then we went to the Art Institute of Chicago to see the big Picasso exhibit.


We thought this bronze vase of flowers would look good in our dining room.


And this drawing (of Madonna?) would look nice in our living room.

Happy Easter!

We dyed Easter eggs after breakfast today.


Happy Easter!


Then we went to Cantigny for the Easter egg hunt.


Ellie had fun on the inflatable slide.


There were LOTS of eggs!

The Easter bunny!


And they're off!
