Shedd

For Labor Day and the second half of Poppy's birthday celebration, we headed to Chicago with Bry's family for a visit to Shedd Aquarium.

Favorite picture of the day...

Hot dog. Chicago style.

And a couple of other winners...

And then it was on to the museum...

 Touching stingrays. Well, some of us anyway. Poppy was a little suspicious of their "stingers."

 hundreds of tiny jellyfish.

 3-D glasses. Enough said.

This thing was massive.

 And as for Cetty, she had her thumb and it got her through without nap times. Such a champ.

This is cool as long as it's in a tank and not above you in the ocean.

 Here we are lining up for a group picture. Just when we were all ready and had handed the camera to a kind stranger, the battery died and that was it for the day. 

I didn't get pictures of our walk through Grant Park after this or the very cool tapas restaurant on Michigan Ave. where we stopped for dinner (Mercat a la Planxa).
But at least I got this happy little face...
