The Shedd Aquarium

We took a trip into Chicago to go to the Shedd Aquarium before our season pass runs out. Meredith was much more interested this year. She really wanted to see "sharks" which she has a love/fear relationship with. Surprisingly her favorite part turned out to not be the sharks. She loved the penguins and the stingrays. There is an area where you can go out and walk on top of the stingrays and see them through a clear floor. Meredith loved standing on the stingrays. She even laid down on top of them to get a better view. Funny, last year when we went this was her Grammy and Poppy's favorite area too. She gave the stingrays lots of love! She also enjoyed touching all the plastic coral in the place. We had a great day in a great city, by the way our beloved bears won the final game of the preseason after we left 16-10...I think that we may have to go into to Soldiers Field every game day for good luck.
