We're Headed For the Big City

[@meld2716]

Love your confidence to drive there and navigate Chicago alone with the kids.

Happy Mother's day. I usually don't comment but ur daughter is growing up so fast. She is beautiful. Ur husband needs to stand at the front door when a boys come to pick her up for a date. And tell them to treat her right!

[@acountrylife]

I agree!!

[@sharlenedegazon-legay9746]

[@deborahsavoie2159]

Happy Mothers day! Have a bless day!.

[@mariezafonte6473]

Happy Mother's Day Jennifer. Thanks for taking us on the trip. Choosing dresses for your children weddings can be difficult. Two of my sons got married 7 weeks apart. I needed a vacation afterwards.

[@acountrylife]

That was a busy year for your family.

[@paulawade3085]

Welcome to our BEAUTIFUL City Chicago, glad you guys were here on a nice day!🎉

[@CindyKinney]

Such an awesome trip to Chicago! Thank you so much for taking us along. I'm with Joe. I like the horse show the best.

[@pamelabrown4941]

I love the Shedd aquarium. So much fun. Happy Mother’s Day

[@brendarobertson2145]

[@acountrylife]

Welcome Kathy; I'm so glad you're here.

[@lanagraham1661]

Hey Jennifer! What a great trip! There is so much to see and do in Chicago. Many years ago I was there for 5 weeks on a job assignment. It was a great experience. Glad you got to do dress shopping while you were there. I hope the dresses worked out for you.😀

[@cathydecarles7084]

Happy Mother’s Day Jennifer happy you are out with your Family 🌹🌺💐🫂🫂🫂🥰🥰🥰🙏🏻✝️☮️📿

[@AnnCatherineFrancis]

I feel your pain, Jennifer! My daughter is getting married in a few weeks and dress shopping has been a challenge!

[@acountrylife]

Congratulations! I'm sure you will have a lovely day.

[@barbarawilliams67685]

You ar so brave Jennifer to drive to Chicago!

[@paige4250]

Happy mother's day Jennifer. I love your channel. I spent the last month catching up on older videos. I love your family and guys are probably the most genuine family on KZbin. It's real. It's everyday life without trying too hard. I respect that. I live in Chicago. I hope you guys enjoyed your visit. I love the Shedd!

[@acountrylife]

Welcome Paige and thanks for your kind words; it means a lot to me.

[@pennysue8926]

Another fantastic lifetime memory making adventures trip with those beautiful kids of yours. These are the times they will NEVER forget with you. Happy Mother's Day Jennifer. Proverbs 31:28 "Her children stand and bless her. Her husband praises her". You are an inspiration to mothers here on your channel to stand strong in this completely chaotic world we live in. I admire you tremendously for that. (P.S. - I truly hope that those beautiful horses at some point in their day get to enjoy the outdoors and some soft green turf under their hooves 💜)

[@kathieponder7708]

Love the play always

[@tammybrown1327]

A great trip to Chicago. Happy Mother's Day!

[@annethompson2212]

Happy mother’s day

[@WillowsGarden]

Hello Jennifer and sweet family! Happy Mother’s Day Jennifer and to your mother and daughter Emily, hope your day will be great. I was raised off and on in Chicago and the Shedd Aquarium is amazing as is the Museum of Science and Industry. Went there many times and never have seen it all. Buckingham Fountain is amazing at nighttime when it’s all lit up. Sears Towers have a miraculous view. Solider Field was where I went to my first concert, Super Bowl of rock back in the 70’s. Looks like so much fun was had by the children. Joe liked Medieval Times the best it sounds like. Have a blessed night everyone!

[@acountrylife]

The Buckingham Fountain wasn't running yet. Our pedicab driver said it didn't start up until May 11, which was the next week. Even so it looked like a really neat fountain.

[@cynthiajordan854]

Have a awesome mother day Jennifier! Marie is such beautiful young lady! She growing up so fast! She going to be awesome mother one day just like you! I hope yal have a great trip! 🌷🌷🌷👩🏻‍🦱💜🙏🤗🤗

[@debgordon6542]

I agree, it's never too early for Mike & Ike's :-) Loved Maria's first time on the escalator.

[@staceygallagher4721]

Hi Jennifer ❤ you and the kids looked like you all had a fantastic time xx

[@janesecaraway3995]

What a great trip for the kids and mom too! Glad yall had fun!! ❤❤

[@nancywelsh8028]

Happy Mother’s Day Jennifer! I love your channel so much. Enjoy your weekend! ❤️🙏🏼😘🍿🥤🌻

[@acountrylife]

Thank you so much!

[@MeloyKimberly]

So fun! I love Chicago. Happy Mothers Day to you and your mom and Emily!

[@darlenes1222]

I'm with Peter on the highrise glass floor, LOL, not a fan of high places. Thank you for sharing what looked like a great time.

[@deniselakatos5418]

Hi Jennifer. What an amazing trip to the great city of Chicago! Thanks for taking us along. Sometimes it felt as if I was right there, especially the Medieval Fair. Hugs.

[@acountrylife]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@debgordon6542]

What an action packed & educational trip...even Macy's! I've never been to Chicago but I feel like I have now, thanks. You were right on the money abt the age of the bldg being abt 140 yrs old; that was impressive. Your pedicab ride looked much less scary than the ones in NYCity. We have a Medieval Times across the street from our neighborhood. Imagine pulling up to the Wendy's drive thru & being behind a couple knights on horses picking up lunch! LOL. It was so surreal, we all grabbed our phones to take photos & call friends :-) Happy Super Mom Day to you

[@Rachel-tc5bu]

As Deb's daughter, I can attest that seeing the FULLY-DRESSED Medival Times performers on their HORSES casually picking up dinner from the Wendy's Drive-Thru was certainly a ~knight~ to remember! 😅😆🤣 Thank you for sharing your trip with us- everyone's happiness is contagious 🥰 PS- Happy Mother's Day to BOTH you and my Mom- you are so similar that I sometimes think you may be twins separated at birth!!! 👀😂💕

[@debgordon6542]

Thanks and love, Sunshine

[@acountrylife]

I think this is so fun when @Rachel-tc5bu comments. It's like a family reunion.

[@debbiemorgan6701]

Happy Mother's Day!

[@elainedomalewski4954]

What a great trip.Happy Mother's day. 😊❤

[@debralawler-nt9si]

Your a brave soul driving in Chicago. I never liked driving when I lived in WI years ago... But its a very cool place to visit

[@acountrylife]

It actually wasn’t too bad. Peter helped me navigate (he was my young eyes) and we just expected plenty of stalled traffic.

[@liancabastian6732]

Thank you for taking us along. It looks like you all had a great time. Safe trip back home🙏🏽♥️

[@acountrylife]

We’re home safe and sound 😊

[@connieseadler1188]

We love Chicago. Hops you had a Great time.

[@acountrylife]

It was so fun. Last time we were there Peter was in a baby carrier.

[@Madelinechriston]

Hi Jennifer! That was such a nice trip that you took the kids on! You know, I used to get such anxiety when I had to do things like that. I guess it was because I wanted the kids to have a good time while worrying about the cost of it all. Looking back, I could have mapped out our trips a little better than just winging it lol. I thought it was funny when you took the kids to Medieval times and no matter how great the show, Joe was just upset that he didn’t ride the horse. I guess that would akin to an, “all that and a piece of cake too?” Type of moment. I’m glad you had a fun, safe trip. God knows we need those now and then.

[@acountrylife]

That’s Joe for you.

[@JanetLavoie]

Looks like a wonderful time. ❤

[@kristenschnese6980]

Happy early Mother’s Day to you! Looks like a way fun trip and your kids are so well behaved no matter where they are. I laughed at the fact it was Maria’s first time in an escalator yeah unless she had been to the Fox River mall not too many in your part of the state. I hope you get to show us through dresses you picked. It’s hard picking formal west I just had to buy a new dress first a cruise and formal wedding myself ugh ..

[@acountrylife]

Have fun on the cruise and at the wedding; those are both good excuses for a fancy dress.

[@beckymiller2185]

That was an awesome trip.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@AngelaRothbauer]

Fun video Jennifer

[@brendalehman1950]

Jennifer and kids, what a great trip. We love the Shedd Aquarium. The Museum of Natural History and The Museum of Science and Industry are also really great places to see. We live about 90+ miles or so from there and been to all 3 couple of times. Thanks for sharing.

[@acountrylife]

Next time I’d love to explore the museums.

[@kittyrichards9915]

Many years ago, I remember the Museum of Natural History being a favorite.

[@Bex-rg8pj]

I love Chicago. My son lives in the city. It’s about a 6 hr drive N to get there but I go up about every 3 months for a week or two !

[@acountrylife]

A full week would be great 👍 we hardly scratched the surface.

[@Linda-t4h3k]

I felt so bad for these poor horses

[@nancyfarkas3592]

Why?

[@marcihill7215]

WOW!!!❤

[@elliejellie22]

The pedicab seemed like fun.

[@acountrylife]

It was the highlight!!

[@kristielael2670]

LOVE the Shedd. We’ve been there twice, along with the other museums. I can’t view till the end right this minute, did you guys do the City Pass?? It’s definitely cheaper to get in to multiple places. We’re about 3 hrs South of there in Springfield 😊 I could stand and watch the OTTERS at The Shedd ALL day - I LOVE OTTERS!!! ❤

[@acountrylife]

We didn't do the City Pass as we only wanted to do a couple of things and not be too pressed for time.

[@amymccrary1049]

You r such a fun mom

[@mrsrichter8586]

Happy Mother's Day. I watch all your videos but for some reason I was suddenly unsubscribed . . . weird.

[@acountrylife]

That's been happening to a number of people. Thanks for checking.

[@marykirkpatrick9382]

I always have mixed feelings about aquariums and zoos. Its a great learning opportunity and exciting to see the animals up close, however, its sad to see animals in captivity.

[@nancyfarkas3592]

Many of these animals are injured and could never survive in the wild.

[@marshanunley5197]

My granddaughters were in Chicago for a volleyball tournament and wanted to go to the aquarium but you had to buy tickets in advance. Maybe next time.

[@kittyrichards9915]

Why don't you model the dresses and let you tube viewers cast a vote!! How fun would that be?

[@nancyfarkas3592]

Amazon dresses are horrible. They are expensive, ugly and don’t fit. I have better luck with walmart
