Living in Chicago gives one ample opportunities for exploring fabulous museums: the Art Institute, the Adler Planetarium, the Shedd Acquarium, and the Museum of Science and Industry are certainly top contenders. But, what about the Field Museum? Our family set out to have a fresh view last Saturday morning - nothing like a 21 mo. old, 2 1/2 year old and 5 year old weighing in on the experience!
Here are our little Vikings posing on the impressive museum stars. We were lucky to get them corralled for this shot. (The current Viking exhibit is very good, but these little ones got into mayhem there and we evicted them before they were thrown out by officials.)
They absolutely loved the animals - wondering why they didn't move like they do in the zoo had to be addressed eventually. Trying to explain "dead and stuffed" was tricky with the inquisitive mind of the oldest.
Snack time break!!
And then on to the dinosaurs.
There was a character dinosaur in the main part of the museum that E and M enjoyed meeting BUT
K certainly wasn't going to come near to it -
unless they held him, and even that was quite uncomfortable for him!
We all (except for this exact Dino moment for K) had a great time on our Field trip to the Field Museum!
Eighteen thumbs up!
