"Someone get that baby!"
We had to keep a close eye on Soli in the pool while we were at Big Cedar this weekend. He had a few traumatic episodes but he had a blast otherwise!
We forgot our camera so the pictures are limited.

Eating a baby-sized cone at Andy's Custard:
This marks the end of our vacationing this summer. So sad.

Soliless in St. Loui
Grama and Grampa Bevans graciously agreed to watch Soli while we went on a date to St. Louis yesterday. We were going to use their season passes to try to get in to Six Flags but we chickened out. Instead we went to City Museum. It's like a Bonkers on steroids. We had a lot of fun. We're anxious to take Solo when he gets older!

Vacation Fluff
Since 'erbudy's seen lots of pictures of bison and bears, I'm gonna post about the non-yellow part of our vaca.
On the way home we stopped at Mount Rushmore, Wall Drug and the Omaha Zoo. We left Sunday morning and got home around 10:30 on Tuesday night. It was a great trip aside from a few fussings from the boy in the back (Solomon had a few moments too)!
Mount Rushmore is definitely one of those once-in-a-lifetime opportunities... You only need to see it once in your life.
Speaking of big faces... Isn't this one SO cute?!
After Rushmore, we drove over to Crazy Horse to find that it was almost 3X as much to park there as it is to park at Rushmore. So we took a quick picture out the window as we were turning around.
We stopped at Wall Drug for dinner. It's changed a lot since I was there 15 years ago. Soli loved the robot dino just as much as Caleb did when he was little!
The next day we drove...
Tuesday we went to the Omaha Zoo. It too has changed a lot since I was there. The big thing then was their indoor jungle.
Now their big thing is the Desert Dome, which, by my judgment, was way less cool than the jungle.
My favorite was the polar bear. He was swimming right next to the glass!
The aquarium was also cool. They had a tunnel!
Soli found a trusty steed at the petting zoo. He preferred it over the bronze Orangutan.
I'll include this one just for the blood, sweat and tears I shed trying to get Brittany to pose!
And that's the summary of our trip home! I've got lots more pictures, so if you want you can go to the album and check 'em out!

Chicago!
Last weekend we took the train up to Chicago, kidless! It was lots of fun.
The train was fun. We watched movies on the laptop so the ride went by quickly. They kept the car cool.
We got to the hotel at 10:45pm, then walked to Giordanos and ate a whole stuffed pizza! Very cheesy and very good!
Friday we walked over 2 miles to Shedd Aquarium*, very cool. My favorite was the dolphin/beluga whale show.
Next we went to the Planetarium* and watched a sky show on constellations.
We stopped at the Buckingham Fountain and the Cloud Gate (bean) on the way back to get dressed for our night on the town!
The Blackhawks won the Stanley Cup a few days before we got to Chicago so it was Blackhawk hysteria everywhere. I was taking this picture of the hockey lions outside the art museum when Brittany spotted Vince Vaughn walking down the street! We followed him for awhile to confirm his identity, then I looked back at this picture and realized he was in it!
We went to Al Primo Canto for made-on-order-all-you-can-eat Brazilian food. The lamb was my favorite.
We then went to the John Hancock building observatory*, then after nightfall we went back up to the 96th floor and got a seat along the window. I was sitting by a guy from France who offered to take our picture.
After that we walked Navy Pier and rode the ferris wheel. We went to bed after 1am!
Saturday morning we ate a huge breakfast at Houlihan's, then walked to the Field Museum* (behind my head). My favorite section is the dead stuffed animals. Brittany liked the dinosaur skeletons.
After the museum we walked back through cloudy downtown to Xoco for lupper.
After lupper it was time to leave so we walked back to Union Station and returned to our child!
We had a great time, I recommend taking a trip there!
*Side note: If you're planning on going to the aquarium, planetarium, Hancock building, Sears tower, Field Museum, or Museum of Science and Industry, you should get a City Pass. Its $70 per person, which is probably less than you'd spend at two of those places without it, and it gets you in to all of them!
