A Day At The Shedd

We had promised Brooke a zoo outing and as the week progressed we watched the forecast change to pretty unfavorable weather. This morning it looked gloomy, but also like the rain could hold out. Still, we didnt want to take a chance. Instead we packed up the troops and head to the Shedd Aquarium.

We spent a lot of time looking at fish and turtles, but also saw a few mammal friends as well.

And, as frequently happens, it looks like Ryan wasn't there. He was! The little guy just doesnt get a whole lot out of our outings ... yet. He did seem to enjoy looking at the fish when we first got there, but it was already close to his naptime at that point. We went to a dolphin show (which Brooke loved), and he had a hard time sitting through (though he clapped every time the audience did). After the show we went to see the Jellies. He looks unimpressed, but really he was just seconds from passing out ;) He then slept the rest of the time.
