205/365 tall ship windy

Sunday we woke up to rain. We had tickets for Tall Ship Windy so we drove over to Navy Pier hoping it would stop before the ship sailed. Thankfully, it did.

Joe and Joshua got to raise one of the sails. They're getting instructions here.

The kids loved listening to the pirate stories and getting to sail on the ship. We also went on the Ferris Wheel while we were at Navy Pier.

Next, it was time for us to head home. We were sad to say goodbye to Tony, Jeannine, Aaron and Nathan but are already thinking about what we can do next year. Love y'all!

What fun!!! The weather was not as nice when we were there so we didn't get to go up on the ferris wheel. I had sad boys. Great photos!
