Floored by Fear of Heights at the Navy Pier

The Navy Pier seemed like a natural destination for our first sightseeing afternoon in Chicago. And riding the Ferris Wheel was a must, guaranteed to net some amazing photo ops with dazzling views of Lake Michigan and the Chicago skyline.

The kids were a little nervous but I eased their fears, telling them that the ride would be slow, the cabin would be closed, and we would be completely safe. All of this was 100% true, and as soon as our car began moving, they were thrilled by the experience.

Their mother on the other hand, was terrified. You'll see no award-winning shots from the top of the Navy Pier Ferris wheel by this intrepid photographer. I was too busy clutching my 3 year old's leg, and tightly closing my eyes, praying for my life.
But I did get a group shot from the ground!

Happy Wordful, not so Wordless and Way-back wednesday!

I love these rides - I'm an adrenalin junkie! :)

You couldn't pay me to get on that thing. And I would do a ton of foul things for money.

I am going to Chicago in November and we are planning to go to Navy Pier. I hope no one tries to get me on that thing!!!
