The Field Museum

Last Monday we took the kids to the Field Museum downtown. It was great. We just didn't realize that it was Free Monday, but it was okay because the Field doesn't get overly crowded and we got to go in pretty much all the exhibits-even the ones you usually pay for. Here are some highlights....

Getting ready for our first ever train ride.
Cheeser doodles!
Such a magical thing...the first train ride!

Screech, halt, speed fast....repeat.
In the museum we got 'shrunk' and went under ground into the dirt. Nate LOVED being one with the bugs.

He's smaller than a penny!
Mummies!
Check out the size of that grub!
Jack is a bug.
Look close! Can you see John and the kids up there?

Train ride home.
Such a good day!
Dinner at Rainforest Cafe. Maddie loved the frog.
We ate near Elephants. It was so cool.
The only thing I'd do different is learn the bus system instead of taking the trolley and/or waiting in line (2 hours with 3 kids, no way. We cabbed it ) for the free trolley. The cab ride wasn't too bad, but the bus would've been cheaper.

More adventures to come!!! I have to get it all in before school next week!
