Mama had to go to a conference in Chicago for work, which "worked" out perfectly for a trip to see Grandma and Grandpa. I had been super excited to see Legoland, so that's the first place we went. It was so cool to be there on a Wednesday evening, because we basically had the entire place to ourselves. It was awesome!

This was the Indiana Jones exhibit. I was super excited, because it was just like the game that my buddies Luke and Davis got me for my birthday. I was also a little nervous about that tiger, who was made entirely of legos (duh, legoland).
It was really amazing, all the stuff made with legos.
Because there was no one there, we got to ride all the rides, ignoring the height restrictions. Finn rode with Grandma.
There was a super cool dragon!
After we saw a movie, where there was only 1 other family in the entire theater, we went to the play area. There are big buckets of legos to build with, and ramps to test cars. It was like they knew I was coming!
Finn liked playing in the big lego playground.
After Legoland, we went to Two Toots Cafe, where the train brings your food.
Finn really liked watching the train go by!
We also had a great time playing at Grandma and Grandpa's house. It was kind of like Christmas, with all the gifts we got. Of course, Finn liked playing in the cabinets the best. It was all fun and games, until Finn got stuck in a pot.
One day while mama was at the conference and Finn was napping, Grandpa took me to the Children's Museum. That was cool and all, but what I really wanted was to go to Portillo's for a hot dog.
On Friday after mama was done working, we went to Cosley to see the pumpkins and check out the animals.
It was cool enough that I needed to put up my hood. It felt great!
Finn liked to move the pumpkins around.
And sit in the pumpkins.
Me and grandpa checked out the horses and cows.
I enjoyed the leaves on the ground, and got down to roll around in them. This is strange stuff for a kid from Houston.
Checking out the bunnies.
We even got to feed the ducks.
Windy.
Keegan showed me how to throw the food to the ducks.
We had fun climbing the hay bales. Now this is more like Texas.
Walking amongst the corn.

What a perfect fall day!

On Saturday, we went to the Wildlife Preserve, because it was another incredible day outside.

We followed the trail by the lake.
Although we occasionally got off the trail...
and into the forest.
Keegan on the prairie!
We had such a great time in Chicago,
and can't wait to see Grandma and Grandpa in Florida next month!
