Today has been an adventure. We managed to maneuver public transportation - the subway and the "El" train just like on tv. The girls did great paying attention and staying together. They even know how to look away when there is a rambling street person. I have to say it was a successful day. The orchestra sounded great in the Courtyard at the Sears Tower. They did however break an elevator I am told and had to wait until after the performance to go up to the Skydeck. 
After the Tower it was a time for shopping. We didn't make it to many stores however, just the important ones;Hersheys, American Girl, and the Disney Store. We all found chocolate at the Hershey store -mmm. Katie adopted a new doll at the American Girl store. It is not one of the American Girls as they are too expensive. This one is a Bitty Baby and is adorable. This doll will create lots of ideas for birthday and Christmas presents as the clothes and accessories are pricey. But she is so delighted and I can not remember when we last bought her a baby doll.
Finally we went to see the Blue Man Group. To get there we had more train riding and walking. We were all glad to finally sit down and see the show. In an unexpected twist, Madeline's ticket was the seat in front of Lexie so I was able to sit with all my girls for the show. They all loved it and thought it was cool. Afterward, we jumped on Madeline's bus for a ride back to our hotel. We were tired and are very thankful they gave us a ride.
Tomorrow is our last day in Chicago. Madeline plays at the Field museum at 10am, but I am not sure we will get everything packed by then. So far we are having a great trip and have had very minor difficulties. The girls have definitely figured out this city stuff.
