The Field Museum, Chicago, IL.
This was our intended target for Wednesday, Shedd Aquarium, but the line stretched down the front and around the side of the building. Navigating anything this crowded with a stroller is not any fun, nor were we ready to stand in line for 2 hours just to get inside!
"Sue", the T-Rex.
Alex practicing harvesting corn off the stalk. The kids all loved this task and then played with those little plastic ears of corn for what seemed like an eternity.
This morning we started out on our way to the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago. They are having free admission this week so, for whatever reason, I thought this would be a great time to go. Apparently, every other family in Chicago had the same idea this morning, resulting in 2+ hour wait-times to enter the building! Luckily, the Field Museum shares a parking lot with the aquarium and Alex was willing to give this "dinosaur museum" a try.
What a great day! Both kids were on excellent behavior and the crowds here were minimal. It is a fabulous museum and Alex had so much fun exploring all the exhibits. We were there 3 1/2 hours and I'm sure only saw a fraction of what was available.
The Field Museum is home to "Sue," the world's largest, most complete T.Rex.
