Thanksgiving trip to Missouri, Chicago and Michigan

We went to a restaurant in Chicago called Ed Deverics which is known for its fifties diner atmosphere and waiters that harrass you the whole time you eat! "Tiger" our waiter harrassed the kids about everything from eating faster to not touching the glass. He riled the kids up so much that it ended in a brawl with Seth and Sam tackling him and Sam punching him in the groin.

We went to the museum of Natural History where the largest T-rex skeleton in the US is located.
The kids were so excited to find out the T-Rex's name was Sue. The same as Grandma's! They fought to be the one to call Grandma and tell her the news.

This is the view of Michigan Street from our condo window.
We went to a restaurant called, "Dicks Last Resort". The waiter made hats for each of the kids. Hailey's said, "I'm surrounded by crazy people." Seth's said, "If found do not return", and Sam's said, "Poop King".
We went to Shedds aquariam, the kids favorite attraction was the giant sea turtle named "Nickel" who had been saved from a tragic motor boat accident. (You can vaguely see her in the back of this picture) We also saw 4-D films of Polar Express and a Whale/ Sea Animal movie, complete with pokes in the back, blowing wind, 3-D images, shaking moving chairs, bubbles and hot chocolate and evergreen smells being blown into the audience.
It snowed the whole time we were there.
We took taxi cabs everywhere, the kids got used to crowding in and out of them.
We went and ate famous Chicago deep dish pizza, Hailey is graffitiing the wall.
The kids loved playing at the childrens museum as well. We had fun while Aaron slaved away at his medical conference, RSNA.
We spent Thanksgiving with Grandma Vicki and Papa Joe in Missouri
We drove out to the farm house and had thanksgiving dinner with Grandma Valeta and Grandpa Clyde. Very delicious.

We made gingerbread houses at Grandma Vicki's house with cousin Donovan
as well at Becky's house with cousins Elijah and Chayim. We drove out to Michigan for a day to see Bek and Teo which proved very useful since I got tons of baby clothes!
I just included the picture below because I thought it was a perfect job description of what Aaron does everyday! :)
