The Shedd

The weather over the past 2 weeks here has been AWESOME.. Gone was the 105 degree heat index and in was the 70's maybe even low 80's which ment that as long as you shut your shades when the HOT sun was coming in them you could be AC free and loving it.....
We decided to take a day trip to the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago... Wouldn't you know it, back came the 105 degree heat index!!
Being the super smart woman that I am, as we set out I shut all the window's and turned the AC on...
This trip is 3+ hours each way, oh ya and the AC went out in the van... You know how it is, you have a priority list when it come's to money and that just wasn't at the top...
Sure wish it was about 30min into the trip....

Did I mention that 2 days before this trip I overhear Ari and Chris talking about how Ari is sure he doesn't want to wear diapers any-more and that he wont go potty in his undies.. I then chime in that if this is really happening that there is no turning back this time, no more back to diaper's if there is an accident... Then I look at Chrs and mumble under my breath, you guys couldn't wait 2 more days to have this conversation.... DANG

We all know that the toddler in the house sets the tone for how days, trips are going to go... Ari was a ROCK STAR!!! We wouldn't have even needed a movie except for the fact that dang, i just wanted him to stop talking for a bit ;)
The aquarium was fantastic, what a nice place, set up... We got to see sooooo much :) only advice I have it to really make it worth it defiantly get the "go in everything" tickets and bring your own food!

Waiting for the Dolphin show to start

We ALL agree this was the best part of the day(I know, sad right) the Dora and Diego 4-D movie. Chrs even had a permagrin the entire 15min movie... You had awesome 3D affects along with wind when you needed it, smells at the right time, vibrating seats for landing, water when splashes... Really well done :)

I think this is my second favorite picture from the whole day....
