We took a weekend trip to Chicago. It was great seeing the sights, but even better was spending time together as a family. We realized this trip that our kids are growing so quickly that we need to do more and more of this. We left home early and headed to the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry for the day.
Brian and Zach battle to see who can toss a card the fastest and have it stick into the wall. It was a MythBusters exhibit that examined whether a person could kill another by throwing a card. Brian threw his card 26 MPH and beat Zach's 21MPH.
In the "Future" exhibit, we came across this dress. Lizzie fell in love and can't wait until they start selling them in her size!
Jacob is determined to dock with the space station. He never did make it, but her sure tried!
All three of them ready for their day.
Lizzie was at her Daddy's side the entire weekend. Hanging out by the old soda and ice cream shop in the Museum.
This exhibit was amazing. It is a real U-505—the only German submarine in the United States.
Periscope up!
Another view.
Jacob figured that if phone books that were intertwined could hold two tons, then it could surely hold him. He was right!
Another amazing fall full of exhibits. We learned and explored lightning, fire, tornados, avalanches, tsunamis, sunlight and atoms in motion.
Lizzie tries to pull the table cloth out from underneath the dishes. It didn't go so well for her.
Zach just KNOWS he can land the Space Shuttle. After several "oops landings, " he did finally make it.
We saw so many cool things and experienced so much that I could post pictures all day. But, in order not to bore you, I will just stick with the above.
