After playing for a few hours at the park, we walked around Millennium Park a bit and checked out Cloud Gate (aka "the bean"). This statue wasn't around the last time I was in Chicago and I kind of just thought it was a silly statue where tourists take their picture. But it turned out to be the coolest thing! The way the city was reflected in the bean at all different angles and directions was amazing and beautiful to see the images change as you walk around it. And I didn't realize that you could actually walk right under it and the reflections were so fun to watch. It was fun to try and figure out where your reflection would show up. We walked around it a few times and took lots of pictures. It's a fun place to people watch too and see people getting silly with their selfies.
The Blackhawks had just won the Stanley Cup so there was a lot of excitement around the city for that. Blackhawk helmets on the Institute of Art lions and "Stanley is Back" in lights on a building.
Trying to keep warm. We didn't even think to bring sweaters and it got pretty chilly at night.
