Chicago Trip - Day 4

Day 4 started at the Field Museum. Our condo was located next to it, so we got to walk over the train tracks (the boys were so excited) to get there. We we a bit surprised that the boys passed by Sue without any interest. However, Colin was very excited about the elephant!



We headed to the underground area. The first thing that happened was that we were "shrunk" to 1/10th our size. After we left and went to a new exhibit, Kevin asked if we had to get shrunk again. Here are a couple pictures from underground.



Here are a couple more pictures from the museum. The first is of Colin playing with animals and habitats. He stayed there for a while. He would even put the puppy on top of the hut and then have the "fire guys" (horses) climb the ladder (hut) to get the dog. The second is of the boys collecting corn.



After naps Pappy, Grandma, and Aunt Kelly headed to Gino's East for pizza while we headed to Eleven City Diner one block away. The boys loved it. Again Colin got grilled cheese and apple sauce (I am pretty sure that is all he ate on the trip.) while Kevin ate corn dogs. They loved it. We headed home for a swim before bedtime. Kevin is becoming more and more adventurous in the water, jumping in over and over again. Colin spent most of the time next to the pool playing with dinosaurs who turned into "fire guys."
