Navy Pier

A couple weeks ago we went to see the Tall Ships at Navy Pier. They're only there for one weekend each summer and since Gavin has been so interested in pirates lately, we thought he'd like it.

The Pier also has a 150 foot tall Ferris wheel and he had never been on one.  This one keeps going (slowly) even as you board!

He wasn't afraid here, just grumpy.

Next he went on the Thomas the Train ride:

And then it was time to see the Tall Ships.  We were able to see several that were out in the lake, while we were up in the Ferris Wheel.  One was docked, but Gavin had had enough by that point.  This was as close as he got, for all of five seconds:
