Thanksgiving in Chicago

Mark, Mamie, Pamela and Mae went to Chicago to spend Thanksgiving with Clara and Josh. We arrived on Thanksgiving Day and met Clara and Josh at their apartment. Hung out there for awhile and went to dinner later. We had a nice dinner together, then drove around the city for a few minutes. We drove down Magnificent Mile, which was decorated beautifully for the holidays. We did a lot in just a few days! We walked around the city, walked through and along Navy Pier, visited Millennium Park and the Magic Bean, visited the Museum of Science and Industry, drove by Wrigley Field and more! Clara and Josh are doing great. We are very proud of them.

Mae had a lot of luggage, so we made her push the cart!

Josh's chair sure is comfy. Mark fell asleep!

Mae loves to play games on Clara's iphone.

You can see part of Lake Michigan in this picture.
