{Adler Planetarium & Field Museum}

On Saturday the 23rd we went downtown again with Caitlan and took her to the Adler Planetarium and the Field Museum.

Here's us at the 3-D show at the Planetarium. Baby wanted to watch the movie, too!


At one section of the museum they talked about light pollution and asked us to write down our ideas on how we can help reduce light pollution. Here is my answer:

"Be an Owl" Haha - one of the sticky notes said something like "Now we are just wasting paper instead of light..."

Here's Caitlan and the husband seeing how it would feel to weigh less on the moon!



This meteorite weighs over 1,000 lbs...they couldn't move it.

What a stud.

This is at the ancient Egyptian exhibit at the Field Museum.




Gotta love them dinos




One of the exhibits at the field museum walked us through the history of the earth, evolution of animals, extinctions, etc.. and when we came to this section the husband yelled out "ME! This is me! I'm a mammal! Quick - take my picture!!!" it was hilarious.

Yes, I see the resemblance :)





One of the special exhibits was about the history of the horse and how they have shaped our culture. 

SHOES! There was a whole section dedicated to shoes from around the world at different time periods - LOVE.

Sue the T-Rex


Great Museum - loved it. It was fun to go back again and to start with the stuff that the husband and I ran out of time to see with Megan - so, we saw a ton of new stuff on this trip! Pretty cool.
