So we told Maggie she was getting a surprise on Thursday. We picked her up early from school and told her that we were taking her to Chicago to the American Girl Doll Store. She cried - apparently she was hoping for a high school musical dance mat. Hey, we can't do it all I suppose. In Chicago we went to... Rain Forest Cafe (where she was scolding the gorillas), American Girl Store (she didn't want to get another doll because she didn't want to hurt Kit's feelings), horse carriage ride with a horse named Taco, the Museum of Science and Industry, the play Wicked (we have been singing the songs ever since), great restaurants, & Garretts popcorn. In two days. The pictures of our trip are below - if the music is annoying you can click the speaker to get rid of it.
