Joshua's trip to Chicago Museums


Joshua took his first ride on the Metra last Saturday, June 7th, to go to the Shedd Aquarium and the Planetarium. He was wide eyed to see all of the sights and sounds on the train and in the city, and so by the time we made it to the Shedd Aquarium, he was pretty tuckered out as you can see from the first picture! The clapping at the end of the dolphin show woke him up, and then he enjoyed seeing the wild reef, beluga whales, sharks (mommy and daddy had conflicting stories as to whether or not you should actually swim with the sharks!), sea turtles, and brightly colored fish. We finished the day at the Planetarium. . . .Joshua especially liked touching the meteorite which was bigger than him. Chicago is definitely a fun and windy city!
