So, our second full day in Chicago, we went to the Field Museum (history). It was pretty darn cool. Lots of neat stuffed animals to look at, ancient and current. The boys like the big giraffes. We got to meet Sue the Dinosaur...that was pretty darn awesome! A big ol T-Rex! My favorite was the exhibit about the Ancient Egyptians. We also got to do an exhibit that "shrunk" us to 1/2 an inch tall! "Through the Eyes of a Bug"...so neat. YOu got to see the underground world from a bugs perspective. We also did a new pirate exhibit, but it wasnt as cool as advertised...it was all reading, and the little boys had no patience for that! If we'd have had the time, JOsh, Ethan and I would have enjoyed it.
After that one, we went on down to the Adler Planetarium. The exhibits were alright, but the coolest part was the shows we got to see! They did one of the night sky in CHicago, and what we would be able to see that night! So neat!!! After that one, we saw a show called cosmic collisions, which was interesing and made for great conversations with the kiddos! Finally, we headed to the Shedd Aquarium for a quick tour. It was pretty dark in there, and of course, the animals were behind glass, so not many pics from there. But we got to see beluga whales, dolphins and penguins! So neat. Oh, and sharks too. About at the end, Clayton realized that he'd lost his wallet, so Josh called the aquarium and they had it!! So he ran the 1/2 mile or so back to get it and then back up to meet us! Clay was very grateful. It even had the rest of his money in it! A great day over all!!!
