Shedd Aquarium Visit

Its been a long time since the big kids went to the Shedd ... and Luke has never been. I figured it would be the perfect trip for our first week of Summer Break.
We hit all the sights - Brooke and Ryan walked the entire aquarium and never complained once. Im pretty sure that has never, ever, ever happened before. Ever. We went to a show that featured whales and dolphins. We got seats that were right behind the glass. This was perfect because there was a little area for Luke to move around while we waited.

















He noticed a bit of an echo and got progressively louder and louder while we waited for the show to begin. I was worried we were about to anger many people, until I remembered I had a pacifier with. The paci kept him quiet and he (as well as the other two) was mesmerized for the entire show.

The kids had one mission. They wanted to pet the stingrays. How could I say no?



Nope. This isnt a different day or different place. Same day, same place. The kids got so soaked at the touch-a-stingray exhibit that I had to purchase them new shirts. I also looked around at every kid that came out of there - mine were the only ones who needed new clothes.
