A Visit to the Shedd

Posted in Family

On Thursday, we got a real treat.  My hubby's Uncle and Aunt took our family and my SIL's family to the Shedd aquarium.  (That's 5 adults and 9 kids).  AND, They bought us memberships so we can go back all year!  The kids had a blast! 

Here is a good picture of Uncle with all the "walkers" (there are four more kids in the strollers).  The green shirts are the cousins and the orange and yellow shirts are mine. 

Here is a picture of Princess C with her favorite animals in the world, penguins:

Baby B was amazed at the fish in the ceiling.  (You can also see Princess C looking up.):

The goof ball "triplets"( my SIL's twins and N are only 3 mo apart):

The family with the Sears Tower in the background:

THANKS FOR THE GREAT DAY, AUNT AND UNCLE!!!

I love outings w/ cousins. Somehow, they're always special. And a membership is, imho, the ultimate family gift. What fun!

This is funny--I'm sure I just read your SIL's blog because she mentioned the Shedd, and the kids had on the same shirts and the same strollers were in both pictures. It must be cool to have a family member that can encourage you in homeschooling.

About Me

Oh, the crazy things that happen in my house.... I am the wife of M for 8 years now. I am the mother of a 10 yo boy - D, 6 1/2 yo boy - N, 4 yo girl - Princess C, 2 1/2 yo boy -Toddler B, and girl Lil' L born May 18. I've been homeschooling since 2003. I lean towards a Charlotte Mason approach, but more often than not, it's "whatever works".
