So what is the Bean you ask...
It's actually a huge sculpture that looks like a bean so it is nicknamed "The Bean."
In case you are wondering, its real name is Cloud Gate.
This was a really fun sculpture to play around with. Here is our distorted family reflection from underneath "The Bean."
The kids really like to play with their reflections, too.
This is what it looks like just about your head when you are standing underneath it. Wild, isn't it?!
The five of us and "The Bean" (of course, Olivia wasn't interested in having a picture taken when she was busy admiring herself.)
Who is that, Olivia?!
Oh, it's me!
After stopping at "The Bean" we went to try some authentic Chicago stuffed pizza at a highly recommend pizzeria called Bella Bacino's.
Olivia thought it was great because she got to sit in a restaurant high chair for the first time! What a big girl!
And here is the pizza! Okay, so it doesn't look quite as appetizing in this picture, but it did look nice when they brought it out. I must say though that is was a very cheese-y experience. Stuffed deep dish pizza = 10 times more cheese. It was very good, but we ended up with a lot left over because we were stuffed! I had to laugh because Robby and Tommy discussed whether they should get a 14" pizza or a 16" pizza before ordering. They settled on the 16" pizza, but I think that we would have still had left overs with a 14", because we had 3 big pieces left to take home.
