Oh Chicago

Our next location was Chicago, which we all loved so much. We went on a boat tour to see all of the beautiful architecture of the city. The tour was so much fun and we all learned so much about all the different buildings. We also went in the Sears Tower to the 102 floor, or so. The elevator was really fast and we got to the top in about one minute, which really made our ears pop. We were all so surprised how much we loved Chicago and we had a blast eating on the pier. The next day we went to Wrigley, which was a great stadium. Although there were not all together we still had a great time when the fans got into the game when the team was down. Sadly, the Cubs lost to the Orioles, but we still had a fun time.

Milwaukee, Our Second Game

Well, we went to our second game in Milwaukee. It was amazing to see how many people actually tailgated at the game. It seemed as if almost everyone was tailgating and having fun before the game. It's so unusual for us to see that because you can't tailgate at Dodger stadium and I'm not sure if you can even tailgate at Angel Stadium. Also, the stadium was very cool because it had a retractable roof. In the middle of the game when it was about to rain the crew closed up the roof, so it then became an indoor stadium. it was also great because the Brewers won!

More later!

Our First Baseball Game

So finally we went to a game and I can update you on it. So, our first game was in Minneapolis, Minnesota (yes, you can think the accent in your head, that's what we did). Before going to the actual game we went to The Mall of America. If you don't know what that is let me tell you, it is the largest mall in the whole country. It is gigantic with 3 floors of stores, an amusement park with 2 roller coasters plus other rides, an aquarium, and so much more. It was incredible, but very overwhelming. So we went to the game and it was fun to see how the people were. Everyone was into the game and it was different because it was a completely indoor stadium. The Twins won and we all had a blast.

More later.

The Badlands aren't Really Bad

On our way to Minnesota we stopped along the way to the Badlands. It was amazing to see the different colors in the rocks. Also when we first got there we saw an amazing site. Jumping down the cliffs were tons of mountain goats, even babies. It was incredible to see them al jump off of the cliff into the ground below. Except one little goat, understandably, didn't want to jump off the huge cliff, but sadly it was left alone. I hope that it found its way, but it was just great to see something that natural. Hope you enjoy the pictures!

That's it for now!

Have you Seen Wildlife so Close?

After seeing the beautiful Mount Rushmore the next day we went to a wild animal park and saw tons of wild animals so close. We drove through the park and saw bears, wolves, mountain sheep, and mountain goats. Also, we were able to see baby bears and wolves which you can't see very often. So here are the pictures so you can see how close we were.

That's all for now.
