5 days of traveling & concert playing earns The Wesley Bell Ringers a much deserved DAY OFF. And who wouldn't love a day off in Chicago, right? As the previous night was only an a couple hours away, the Wesley's rolled into The Windy City just in time for an early lunch & some site seeing before a planned architecture boat tour of the city. And as tradition continues, the choir was given some valuable free time late in the afternoon & evening to explore on their own. At then end of the evening, the chaperone team can proudly report that everyone was back, safe & sound in their rooms BEFORE curfew times! Parents, you should be proud of your kids. The are amazing.

Special thanks to Gina & Katie for arranging this magical day in Chicago. It is a great responsibility & logistical challenge to arrange hotels, meals, & activities for a group of this size. The day was fantastic. Your efforts have not gone unnoticed & you provided an amazing experience for all us in Chicago. THANK YOU!!!!

| First stop - Giordano's deep dish pizza for lunch! |
 |
| Giordano's was amazing. A Chicago experience indeed. |
 |
| You know a meal must be amazing when you fall in love with your server. This is La La She was amazing. We tried to recruit her as a bell ringer, really we did. |
 |
| The Architecture boat tour of Chicago was amazing, relaxing, and a highlight of tour, so far! |
 |
| Maybe too relaxing for these two? |
 |
| The Chicago Tribune building dates back to the early 1900's & has rocks embedded from famous sites around the world. The choir found Utah's contribution, a rock from the Salt Lake City Temple. |
 |
| The "Bean" in Millennial Park! |
 |
| Not sure what is going on here, but it was all in good fun, I promise! |
 |
| Who knew it was National Sewing Machine Day? |
 |
| Dylan!!! |
 |
| After a day of walking, eating, touring, & swimming some downtime in the chaperone's room is a good way to end the night. |
 |
| Pizza from lunch for an after dinner snack. It's the gift that keeps on giving! |
 |
| We call this game, let's see who has the most outrageous face during a concert game! Wesley's loving reviewing Gina's photos so far. |
