dinosaurs and belugas (from wednesday)

i apologize for the delay; with getting ready to continue the journey, a friend's birthday, and then on thursday everything that happened, i forgot about these until now.

on wednesday, we went to the museum of contemporary photography, which inspired me (many of the exhibits were around road-trip themes), and seemed to interest the kids.

then we headed down to the shedd aquarium and the field museum. with differing interests, we split up.

R charmed her way into the beluga show and got to touch one.





meanwhile, S explored the field and had conversations with the dinosaurs, especially sue.





so many wonderful memories from chicago.
