It's everyday life without trying too hard. I respect that. I live in Chicago. I hope you guys enjoyed your visit. I love the Shedd!

Another fantastic lifetime memory making adventures trip with those beautiful kids of yours. These are the times they will NEVER forget with you. Happy Mother's Day Jennifer. Proverbs 31:28 "Her children stand and bless her. Her husband praises her". You are an inspiration to mothers here on your channel to stand strong in this completely chaotic world we live in. I admire you tremendously for that. (P.S. - I truly hope that those beautiful horses at some point in their day get to enjoy the outdoors and some soft green turf under their hooves 💜)

Hello Jennifer and sweet family! Happy Mother’s Day Jennifer and to your mother and daughter Emily, hope your day will be great. I was raised off and on in Chicago and the Shedd Aquarium is amazing as is the Museum of Science and Industry. Went there many times and never have seen it all. Buckingham Fountain is amazing at nighttime when it’s all lit up. Sears Towers have a miraculous view. Solider Field was where I went to my first concert, Super Bowl of rock back in the 70’s. Looks like so much fun was had by the children. Joe liked Medieval Times the best it sounds like. Have a blessed night everyone!

The Buckingham Fountain wasn't running yet. Our pedicab driver said it didn't start up until May 11, which was the next week. Even so it looked like a really neat fountain.

What an action packed & educational trip...even Macy's! I've never been to Chicago but I feel like I have now, thanks. You were right on the money abt the age of the bldg being abt 140 yrs old; that was impressive. Your pedicab ride looked much less scary than the ones in NYCity. We have a Medieval Times across the street from our neighborhood. Imagine pulling up to the Wendy's drive thru & being behind a couple knights on horses picking up lunch! LOL. It was so surreal, we all grabbed our phones to take photos & call friends :-) Happy Super Mom Day to you

As Deb's daughter, I can attest that seeing the FULLY-DRESSED Medival Times performers on their HORSES casually picking up dinner from the Wendy's Drive-Thru was certainly a ~knight~ to remember! 😅😆🤣 Thank you for sharing your trip with us- everyone's happiness is contagious 🥰 PS- Happy Mother's Day to BOTH you and my Mom- you are so similar that I sometimes think you may be twins separated at birth!!! 👀😂💕

Hi Jennifer! That was such a nice trip that you took the kids on! You know, I used to get such anxiety when I had to do things like that. I guess it was because I wanted the kids to have a good time while worrying about the cost of it all. Looking back, I could have mapped out our trips a little better than just winging it lol. I thought it was funny when you took the kids to Medieval times and no matter how great the show, Joe was just upset that he didn’t ride the horse. I guess that would akin to an, “all that and a piece of cake too?” Type of moment. I’m glad you had a fun, safe trip. God knows we need those now and then.

Happy early Mother’s Day to you! Looks like a way fun trip and your kids are so well behaved no matter where they are. I laughed at the fact it was Maria’s first time in an escalator yeah unless she had been to the Fox River mall not too many in your part of the state. I hope you get to show us through dresses you picked. It’s hard picking formal west I just had to buy a new dress first a cruise and formal wedding myself ugh ..

LOVE the Shedd. We’ve been there twice, along with the other museums. I can’t view till the end right this minute, did you guys do the City Pass?? It’s definitely cheaper to get in to multiple places. We’re about 3 hrs South of there in Springfield 😊 I could stand and watch the OTTERS at The Shedd ALL day - I LOVE OTTERS!!! ❤
