Field Museum

 Reid made a drawing in the art area and then kept going to the mirror to show it to herself. She alternated between smiling, laughing or making a very serious face in the mirror. She was making a lot of people laugh!

I love that we can get on the highway, drive for 20 minutes and be in the heart of Chicago, looking out over Lake Michigan. If we lived outside of New York, I feel like an outing to the city would require more thought and planning because of traffic, parking etc, but here it is very simple. I would prefer we could take the train, but today's high was 10 degrees so that wasn't happening. The girls and I went in to the Field Museum today. They had a blast checking out all of the exhibits and of course loved the family play area.
