Here's the Shedd that we hiked to. I thought it looked so pretty with the bright blue water and the changing leaves. The kids were happy that there was a 4D show going on there featuring their favorite character...Sponge Bob! Anna said she was "a little freaked out" by it, and surprisingly Ethan enjoyed. He tends to be a scarity cat, but he liked it! He even kept his 4D glasses on more than Anna did. After that show we tried seeing the dolphin show, but it was packed and standing room only by the time we got to it...and quite honestly, it was b-o-r-i-n-g. They talk way too much, not enough dolphin action! We were bored out of our gourds so we moved on after a few mins of seeing nothing. We checked out a few of their regular fish exhibits and then hit the sidewalk for our walk back!
Saturday night we had a quick dinner at Water Tower Place, then headed up to the Observatory at the Hancock after dark. The view from up there at night is beautiful! Darkness of Lake Michigan to the east, and bright lights in every other direction. Anna was super excited to be up there and kept running around like a maniac.
Notice the little stinker is not wearing shoes or socks at both the Hancock and Shedd Aquarium! The kid won't keep them on no matter where we are! I must have put them back on him a thousand times over the weekend. 
We were all sad to go home on Sunday, but we were all super tired and ready to get back to normal life! And THANK YOU Auntie Meggie for dropping us off Friday and taking the vomit comet (our car) home, AND for coming to get us Sunday! And THANK YOU Jacie for cleaning our vomit comet. And here is a fun picture of Uncle Jacie dressed as a bear. A fun way to end our weekend in the city!
