This is the baby, upside down. The head is on the bottom, the body on top of that. And on the left is a little arm and up at the tippy top are the two little legs.
Trick photography??? :)
Amanda, myself and Tiffany in front of the bean. I love the way you can see the Chicago Skyline in the bean behind us!!!
This is from inside the bean!!! You can walk up underneath it and arches up really high into this optical illusion type reflection. Who can spot me??? 
This is the Adler Planetarium. Lianna and I saw a show here. We kind of did a whirlwind tour with a CityPass. It got you into most places and we wanted to see as much as we could but only had one day and it was only good until 5:30pm. So we rushed around and saw as much as we could! :)
This is a picture of the city taken from the observation deck of the Sears Tower... Another stop on our whirlwind tour!
Flags inside the first floor of the Sears Tower. Pretty awesome looking! 
This is Tony, the groom.
This is Tina, the bride. On the right is her brother who was a groomsman but got more comfortable for the reception and took off his jacket and suit shirt. And the girl to the left is one of her bridesmaids who was "pregnant" and just so happened to be the girlfriend/fiance of the groomsman who asked me to dance with him.
Lianna, Tiffany and I went on an Architectural riverboat cruise along the Chicago River. It was pretty amazing. That's where all the pictures of buildings and such are from below.
Skyline including Sears Tower, which was recently bought by an overseas Brittish company and they will be renaming it because they sold the Sears Tower with the naming rights!!! What were they thinking?!?!?! 
These two buildings were amazingly cool! The condo's here are called Marina Towers, I think, and they're located right on the Chicago River, but most locals refer to them as the Corn Cobs... The lower portions of the buildings are parking spaces, you can see the cars if you look closely, and all of the condo's are "petal" shaped following the design of the building. They were also supposedly the inspiration for the living quarters of a well known futuristic cartoon family... ANY GUESSES?????
This is a huge sculpture of the "American Gothic" painting that was along the "Magnificent Mile," which is the equivalent of 5th Avenue in NYC. You want any kind of high end shopping store, look for the Magnificent Mile!
The archetecture here was absolutely amazing! The tall building in the back is the Trump Tower...go figure!
This picture was taken in front of the Water Tower Building. From left to right is Valerie, Lianna and Emilee. These were only three of the thirteen ladies who came for the weekend!!!
This is the before picture. We're all still nice and clean and dry!
And here's the after picture. We're soaked and filthy and gross!
This is the hole we had to go into in order to get down into the caves. Only slightly larger than me I think.
Once down in that hole we were in the actual cave. The entire ceiling of the first cavern was all fools gold. Doesn't it look so beautiful!!! It was stunning and this picture doesn't even begin to do it justice...
This was a bit further into the cave. There was a little underground stream running down the middle of the cave for almost the entire way. At first we were able to hop on different rocks and avoid getting wet but eventually the rocks thinned out and we ended up having to just walk right through the stream. And boy was it cold!
Just another picture in the cave. The ceiling was higher here but at some points it was very close to your head...other points you had to squat and shimmy or crawl.
Joy and her friends Hollan (green jacket) and Vartan (blue jacket) in the cave.
This is actually a shot of the group walking ahead of me although it's hard to tell because of the fogginess. The fog/mist effect was caused by our breath. I was very damp and cool in the cave and there wasn't much air flow so whenever we breathed out it created a mist that did not quickly dissipate. It was kind of a cool effect though because your breath just kind of hung in the air and then slowly moved away still almost in formation.
So the story behind my hand is this. Bubba attempted to climb up a piece of the cave wall behind us and a massive clump (bigger than my head) broke off of the wall where he was holding on. After it broke off though, we realized that it was actually a massive lump of clay and that there was a ton of clay in the actual wall of the cave! It was super moist and got on my hand because I felt the need to play with the clay...What can I say, it's the child in me!
This picture was taken after we as a group decided to go further up the tunnel/underground stream. We knew that the water got pretty deep (about waist high) but we wanted to go for it anyway. We started heading into the water and by the time we got as deep as we did it hurt so bad. We were all yelling "Ahhhh, it hurts...Pins and needles...Go back...Go back!" So we turned around and headed back...Appearantly there was a new tunnel a bit further up but we would have had to be in up to our waists...We decided to save that for a warmer day and plan on going back in couple more months.
