Fun Days

Our family fieldtrip to the Shedd Aquarium and Field Museum. Thought we were going to miss the weekend crowd; boy, was I wrong. Talk about your stroller and fieldtrip city! I would have loved to post all 100+ pics I took- we had so much fun! I got to take both my boys on their first trip to the Shedd!! They had a blast, and Daddy carried him around for most of the time, showing him all the creatures. I thought it would be a great family outing, as well as very educational for E (but, shhhh, don't tell him ;) E loved the fish, especially when they swam right in front of him.

FISH! PECES!

MONKEY!
TURTLE! TORTUGA! Such a fun time!

We found the perfect spot for a lunch picnic.

Dad was a super hero and ran all the way back to the parking garage in the freezing cold to fetch the 'milk' since E was too distracted to eat much of anything else.

Skipped on over to the Field Museum.

They had an adorable learning play center for tots.

Here are the boys in the sound room playing on various old instruments.

E walked right on over to this plaque and plopped himself down.

He loved it. Made everyone else laugh. I told him he might have his own one day as well.

"Mommy, what does this one say?"

This was pretty much the highlight of the day.

He just started laughing...his weird laugh.. a recognition.

Yes, this poor little 'cat' reminded him of his own Gershwin.

At home with Daddy.

"Me and Dad are best friends!"

We are still enjoying the cold and are out every sunny day.

Still swinging. Still stroller rides. Still sledding round and round our house.Daddy had fun with this one. E is standing all the way up.

Hehe

We went sledding with L and Miss E the other day on a huge frozen lake.

The little buddies were very cold, especially because we even walked the mile to and from.

I love it that they are just as adventurous as we are and enjoy being outside.
There's bound to be plenty of bike rides and camp trips in the summer!! Such sweet friends.

How did I manage to get a toothless smile?!

He is grins and giggles down the sled hills.
