Aquarium

A couple of weeks ago we went to the aquarium. We went to Shedd last spring on one of their free admission days. This was a much more enjoyable experience. For one, we didn't have to stand out in the rain for nearly 2 hours waiting in line to get in. Yes, much better. Since we had been there before, we made sure to hit only the exhibits we didn't get to see the first time around. We got to see the penguins (always my favorite), dolphins, and we even got to see them feeding the beluga whales. Very cool!

Enjoying the dolphins!

Elias was enjoying watching the sting rays on the see-through floor.

Our last stop was once again the big aquarium in the center. We didn't spot the giant turtle this time but the other huge fish were still a big hit.

Taking a standard Chicago skyline picture just outside the aquarium. The Willis Tower is just left of my head.

On our walk back to the train, we had to stop by Grant Park and check out the clean up from Lollapalooza. Do you see all that mud? Tyler and Mark got to see Foo Fighters play while standing ankle-deep in that mud. Amazingly, they both seemed to enjoy the experience and said it was an awesome concert.
