Shedds Aquarium


On Saturday we went to Shedds Aquarium since the weather was a bit yucky outside (cold and rainy). It was a really cool place! I was expecting some fish behind glass but it was so much more!

We got to view a short 4-d film of Happy Feet (it was about 12 minutes long). Cole loved it but Luke was not really a big fan. Some of the 4-d effects were bubbles, vibrating seats and water squirting. The water squirting part was what freaked Luke out.

Then we went to see another show but it was a bit boring. The boys enjoyed it. They were showing how they train beluga whales and river dolphins. Here's a picture of the boys with Matt watching the show.


Then we just wandered around for a while looking at all of the displays. There was a small play area with a submarine that the kids could play in.


This is what Cole tends to do when asked to take a picture with his brother - put him in a chokehold to keep him still.
Cole was playing with a canoe in one of the many different viewing areas.
Luke wandering by an exhibit - he loves to be down walking and thanks to the monkey on his back he can be without us worrying about losing him.
Luke with NYC Papa (which Cole still calls him this even though he's now in Chicago).
