A Day in the City!

We took a day trip into the city. The weather was absolutely perfect and we had a wonderful time exploring the Field Museum and strolling along the lakeshore.

A future musician?

While Fisher was entertaining himself with the dinosaurs at the Field Museum, I wandered over into the kids music area. They have all sorts of fun instruments, just right for a little kid like myself. I was most fascinated with the drums.

Here is a video of me walking around the room exploring the different instruments and exhibits. So much fun. Not surprisingly, I was drawn back to my drum.

Real Dinosaurs...well sort of.

Today we all went to the Chicago Field Museum. What a spectacular place. I was most excited to see the new dinosaur exhibit. They have created dinosaurs out of machines and use this special face recognition software so the dinosaurs can look at you and watch you move. It's super cool, but also a little scary. The dinosaur above me is named Sue. She is over 67 million years old! Wow!

Here, daddy and I are watching the T-Rex. It looked so real! I know it wasjust a machine, but I will still a little scared watching him.

This guy was really sneaky. Mommy and I were trying to play a game and learn more about him, when he started to make all kinds of noises.

The family

After repeated problems with our old computer, we finally broke down and purchased a new one...a Mac. It's got lots of cool features, one of which allowed us to take this black and while photo of the family.
