Best job ever...holding Baxter's lollipop while he pets the stingrays at the Chicago Aquarium

Successful day...3 stingray pets

Some pre-lunch fun 

Catching the ferry back to the hotel...favorite part of the trip to Chicago

We love you!

Playing with some new toys at the airport


Brothers boarding

Not the best flight for Benny, but at least we got a good picture

Back in Nashville having fun while Daddy shops for an upcoming trip to the Caribbean

The best way to spend Labor Day...at the Lego Store

Finally, Benny's at school and Big B isn't....Mommy and Baxter have some fun planned!

And it involves A TON of super hero video games

Wait...who doesn't belong?  You'll get your turn with swim lessons soon, Benny!

Playing with Grandma while Mommy and Daddy take a long weekend trip to St. Kitts (Daddy's award trip for work).  Wonder who's having more fun?
