Friday in the Windy City

We started off Friday with lunch at Harry Carey's restaurant.
Clearly they weren't bringing Sam his hot dog fast enough.


Now he is all smiles.


HOLY COW, this kid is cute!
Health conscious Elliott opted for carrot sticks with her lunch.
And she is encouraging her brother to do the same.
And then on to the Museum of Science and Industry...
This replica of the museum is made out of Legos.

Note the Amish couple at the Museum of Science and Industry checking out the latest and greatest in 1900 technology.

The kiddos thought that the train was pretty cool.





Conductor Sammy

 
 
On to the weather area to watch how a tornado is formed. This is good information when living in Alabama.
(The dad standing right next to Andrew is wearing the same shirt.)


Sammy checking out the ripples.


Elliott learning about the properties of light...
and about avalanches.

There was a toy factory inside where you can watch the robots make your toy top.


They thought that the GI tract was pretty cool.
Andrew beat Elliott at the Mind Games.
Sammy adores the air pressure exhibit.



Electrostatic discharge

Building Elements
Rainbows
Magnets
Tiny tried really hard to push the two magnetized plates together.
Wind tunnel
The future has smoke curtains...

and LED dresses.
Elliott was very concerned that she didn't see the mommy chicken at the hatchery.
 
 

The Greyhound of days gone by...

Funhouse mirrors



The farm was a favorite area...they just HAD to ride the cow.

Learning how to milk


And then learning about their favorite subject
 
POOP
The best reason to visit the museum...
THEY HAVE A STINKIN' SUBMARINE IN THE BASEMENT!!!!
 
 
I am sure those holes in the side are fine...
