Would you rather swim like a fish or roar like a dinosaur?

And back up north we go. We took advantage of the free day at Shedd Aquarium (which ended up being not very free at all, but at least it was a little cheaper than it would have normally been). We met Auntie Heather up there and had a lovely time.







Oz loved the fish in the floor.








Penguins :)








Seahorses, my favorite!


Seadragons, Andrew's favorite.



Carter wasn't so sure about touching that live star fish. It felt like a rock.


Row, row, row your boat...



And after the aquarium, we hit up the Field Museum, since it's right next door and it was free because we have a membership with our local museum (seriously, why doesn't everyone buy museum passes, they're the best thing ever).









There were art students painting and drawing.
