Day at the Shedd

Lucas made his first 2 trips to the city this weekend. The first was on Sunday afternoon - we went to Aunt Stacey's to celebrate her birthday. The second was yesterday to the Shedd Aquarium. Wally was off school, and we wanted to get out of the house for a bit. We didn't realize that the Shedd was free that day and with a lot of kids being off school, there was a pretty big line to get in. We stuck it out - Lucas was all bundled up in his stroller. Wally and I on the other hand weren't quite prepared to wait outside - I definitely could have used some gloves! We finally made it in though and soon realized that Lucas is a people watcher just like his Mommy and Daddy! He was out of his stroller, and I was holding him as we were walking around - he was eyes wide open just taking it all in. We put him up to the glass so he could see all the fishies swimming around. After awhile though, he had enough and was fast asleep in his stroller. It was a fun outing (though a little crowded)! We want to go back this summer though because the Oceanarium is closed for renovations and that is where the belugas and dolphins are.

I'm so excited!

Look how tall I am!

And spent!

The aquarium is in the background - too bad you can't tell :(

hhhmmm...is there a little boy I know that spends some time in the crab lab?!?!

Lucas' new shirt!
