Experience Chicago

Michael's job is great, because it only allows him to work 40 hours, and that means he usually has Friday's off! (although he would like to work more, I really enjoy it!) For our first weekend here, we decided to head downtown to see what we could find.  Chicago is a beautiful city, we just love it. When we made it, we didn't really know what to do, or where to go... so we just parked and started wandering around.  We found the Taste of Chicago festival, and thought we would go see what it was all about.  Basically there are tons of restaurants from all over that set up little tents and you can sample their food. Since we had eaten right before (dumb) we didn't try very many things, but we watched a little circus show, and sat in on some cooking classes!  It was fun just to experience a little bit of Chicago.  I hear it is something you only need to do once...

Michael was getting artsy, Alie was getting sassy

Beautiful Chicago

On Saturday, we went to the temple.  We love the Chicago temple, especially because the endowment rooms are so small we can sit right next to each other :) We will take a picture there soon.
