Last Saturday was a cold day in Chicago so we decided to go to a museum. We all had a great time. Our membership to the Exploratorium in San Fransico got us in free which made it so much better. There was so much to do. We spent about 5 hours there and didn't even come close to seeing it all. There is a hands-on children's area where the kids spent a bunch of time. They loved that. But, we also saw Sue the dinosaur and felt like Noah when we walked through the animal section. They must have every animal (well, it seemed like it) and they are all nicely displayed in "natural habitat" scenes. We will be going back soon to see the rest of the place. We'll take Maddie next time. She had other plans for this day. Emma liked the Egyptian area. She is studying that in school right now. I was glad to able to take her on a school related field trip. Richard was fascinated by the cool globe they had. Ellie spent a lot of time studying rocks and filling out the scientist study sheet. Lauren liked beating on the drums in the rhythm room. And I enjoyed the fact that there were a couple of nice restaurants (one being McDonalds) so we didn't have to go OUT to eat. There's lots to do in Chicago.
