Water play

Phil had work today so the kids and I were left to our own devices. We went back to Millennium Park where there was a children's choir concert. We listened for a few minutes and then the kids were ready to face the fountain again.

We spent about an hour or so at the park. Nicholas and Catherine changed into their swimmers, played and got wet. It was the perfect weather again for water play.

We walked back to the hotel with a stop at Starbucks to get some cool drinks and a snack. Catherine fell asleep afterwards while Nicholas and I ate our leftover deep dish pizza at our hotel room.

We had a challenging evening - a sign of homesickness perhaps? Also, the kids have been overtired, overly excited and too distracted to eat properly. When they finally ate dinner, they ate a lot and went to bed relatively quickly. Hope tomorrow is better.
