Chicago

We spent a few days in Chicago for the 4th of July.  What fun everyone had:

At the Museum of Science & Industry learning about friction with daddy:

 Seeing what various bugs in the wild look like:

 Driving the corn picker machine (both girls are in there with daddy):

 The giant tractor wheel:

 Playing with gears:

On July 4th, Alexis & Dave were in a parade (so were Aunt Christie & Uncle Cort, but the kids were of more interest to Emma & Sarah).  Here is everyone waiting for the start:

Emma got to meet a police officer and take a picture with the car:

Saying hello to all the floats:

Setting off some fireworks with their cousins (well, the champagne poppers anyway):

Finally, the girls loving jumping off the diving board at Aunt Mo & Uncle Jim's house:
