Saint Patrick’s Day Chicago

Christine and Ava braved the parade traffic to spend some time at Navy Pier checking out the Garden Show. Ava cruised through the exhibits in her ride-on car, sitting perched among the flower beds and snacking away in her green St. Patrick’s Day shirt.

They wandered past a glowing waterfall display tucked in among the greenery, and Ava stopped to check out a little red barn surrounded by yellow flowers. Before heading home she climbed up on the window ledge to take in the Chicago skyline over the lake: a nice little escape from the St. Patrick’s Day crowds outside.
