Today we went to the Field Museum. It was a bit of an adventure getting there but we did thankfully finally make it all in. Before we could go to any real exhibits we had to eat lunch and ironically the spot we chose had the display of elephant seals right behind us. It was like being home again! We went to check out the insect section after lunch and the kids were excited to try to be one too! We all got shrunk before we entered so they could. :-)
After seeing the insects we went to see the section on Egypt (my favorite!). Then it was off to Africa and Olivier asked me to take this photo, although I can't remember why. But it is cute so here you go!
After Africa we went to see the gem display (Anna's request) and it was very cool. Then it was off to the dinosaurs, which we all enjoyed.
From the museum we had a great view of the foggy, rainy city.
The dinosaurs look big but you get a better sense of how big when a kid can sit in the footprint...!
How many Olivier feet would it take....?
Olivier said that Uncle Bill could catch the fish we saw if they were still alive today.
And we saw some of the horse ancestors.
And Sue the T-Rex. They are in the middle of building her a new pavilion.
Another fish for Uncle Bill to catch!
Since the museum was crazy busy we all got a bit flustered and wanted out so we left around four. Since it is Friday pizza night we went out for some Chicago deep dish pizza. It was very tasty and boy were we full!
