Lauren and I took a "field trip" to the Shedd Aquarium Monday morning. Lauren has recently become very interested in fish so this was the perfect place to go on a Chicago winter day. Because we got there right when the aquarium opened, we had the place to ourselves for a few hours. It was perfect. Lauren could stand by the dolphin tank and watch the dolphins swim by as long as she wanted. This really excited her! If you look real closely you can see one of the dolphins in the upper left corner.
Lauren dressed up like a penguin in the play area and watched as the other kids climbed all around. She did climb to the top a few times, but was too nervous to take the slide down or go in the tunnel.
Pushing buttons is one of Lauren's current favorite activities so we spent lots of time in the submarine exhibit.
As we were walking to the car I couldn't resist this photo. As cold as it was, the aquarium, Chicago skyline, and frozen Lake Michigan were beautiful with the sun shinning on them.
