The Aquarium

April 16 we went to the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago as a part of Noah and Anna's Christmas gift from Gma Ruth and Gpa Tom. It was great. The kids loved the train ride and the aquarium. We got there early (which was critical as we realized when we left and saw a huge line that was not there when we went in) and didn't try to do to much a la Clark W. Griswold. It was great.

Here's the crew after a long day.


Here we are before the 4D Dora movie. Yes, 4D. What is the other D you may ask. It was shaking chairs, bubbles blown at us, getting misted with water and smell. Love it.


Climbing in the penguin play area. This was Anna's fav.


Exploring the submarine.


Checking out the jellies and starfish.



Noah snuggles with his new shark as he takes a quick nap on the way home.


Anna and Gpa Tom have their own seats in a different part of the train car because Anna wanted to sit with him away from the rest of us. So cute.
