We didn't go to Sears Tower, but here is a picture of it from the Hancock building.

This is a fountain in Millenium Park, the kids love playing in it.














The faces change and squirt water out of their mouths.




















Saturday, we walked to the festival in downtown Rockford, calledThe World's Largest boot




















This band played music similar to Dave Matthews but without a singer.
