Winter Wonderfest at Navy Pier

The weekend before Christmas we went to Navy Pier for Winter Wonderfest.  They decorate the whole convention area in winter decorations.  There are trees everywhere, ice skating, rides, food, and plenty of Christmas cheer.  It is a great way to get in the holiday spirit.  JJ loved it! 

The first place we went was especially for little ones.  He loved throwing these balls around.
 He wasn't brave enough to go through the whole tunnel but he enjoyed what he did explore.
 Next we headed to the train.  Jackson liked the ride much more than waiting in line.

 Here is the main tree!  It is so pretty!
 Jackson's first carousel ride started off well but he was underwhelmed once it started moving.
 He really wasn't sure how he felt.
 Jackson is a great cookie decorator.  As soon as we bought our cookie to decorate, he started signing "more."  He couldn't wait to eat part of it.
 Then Bryan talked me into letting him take JJ on this big inflatable obstacle course and slide.  Luckily, he was thrilled to go down the big slide with Daddy!
 His last big adventure was the ferris wheel. It wasn't a kid ride and I was so scared he would jump to his death!  I made Bryan take a bunch of cheese puffs to keep him occupied while it slowly made it's way around to unload everyone.  He was so little up there.
This is such a fun place and will definitely be a yearly tradition!
