Weekend in Chicago

This past weekend we were in Chicago for Aunt Lauren's baby shower. We decided to make a weekend out of it and visit the Shedd Aquarium on Saturday morning. On the way to the aquarium we saw so many big trucks, train tracks, trains, tunnels and train tunnels - Graham was almost unable to handle it...almost. :o) 

There were sharks, jelly fish, rainbow trouts, beluga whales, penguins and starfish to see. The boys had such a good time. By the time we left the Aquarium, they were so tired they were asleep before we'd left the parking garage. I'm sorry for the blurriness of the photos - flash was verbotten.


Look at all the fish!!

Rainbow trouts


Jellyfish!

One of the children's play areas - Fletcher managed to completely soak his shirt before I found the bib to put on him.

We stopped for snacks on the Aquarium terrace with this lovely view of the city!
