We planned a crazy weekend of fun in Chicago. We stayed at the Renaissance Hotel. It was beautiful! On Friday night we took the kids to see the Chicago Wolves (hockey) play at the Allstate Arena. Alec was having a ball. He kept asking all these questions. "What are they hitting? Don't they get in trouble for hitting each other? How do they get it in the goal? Why is he (the goalie) wearing those things (pads) on his pants?" It was funny! The lady in front of us turned around laughing and said she loved all his questions. Will did great. There were fireworks whenever the home team got a goal and he never cried. It was loud!
The kids went swimming with their dad on Saturday morning. Will and I watched. The water was a little too chilly for Will to enjoy. 
Saturday afternoon we took them to the Brookfield Zoo. It was overcast and chilly, but we still had fun. The animals were all inside. We got to be sooo close to the giraffes! It was amazing! Alec really liked the rhinoceros.
Saturday night, Will decided to wake up at 3:00 am and not go back to sleep until 5:00. I stayed in the bathroom with him. I kept thinking if he wasn't so cute, I'd flush him down the toilet! Sunday morning the kids went swimming again and then time to check out. They went to Grandma and Grandpa Schmidt's while I went to a baby shower for my friend Jennifer. Then Dan and I took my sister Amanda and her husband Craig to a Chicago Rush football game. We had fun!
On a side note, it took me until Wednesday to recover!
