We went to the Field Museum with Auntie Jen and Uncle Cody who came to visit for the weekend. What a busy day (more like exhausting for a certain pregnant mom) it was too! The Field Museum filled with stuffed animals and Dinosaurs, the Shed Aquarium w/ Dolphin Show, then Brazzaz -an all you can eat Brazilian restaurant know for it's excellent meat choices. Xander was so excited to help serve the meat he chose. This Man comes around and cuts the meat off the bone and platter he carries around to the tables... you have this delicate little tongs/pincher that you help him by taking the meat as he cuts it -and Xander mimicking us, felt very grown up. Top it off with Lunch at McDonalds, a HAPPY MEAL no less (something he only gets when Daddy buys at McD's) and the day spent with the people he loved ...it was as perfect as a little boy could imagine. Recently it was brought to my attention that it he thought it "was the best day of his life."This Emperor Penguin weighs in more than Josie weighs. Penguins might be Daddy's favorite animal and so therefore they are one of the kids favorite also.
Here is "Sue" the Dinosaur found here in Illinios. The Muesums trade mark and icon.

We'll never forget that day, either! We had so much fun at the museum and the aquarium, and we have literally never eaten at any place as cool as Brazzazz was. I am glad we have those memories to look back on! The funniest moment of the day was when Xander started singing commercials in the car! Or maybe it was when Josie was walking around with the map completely covering her face(she wanted to be important too)!
