Downtown . . . again

We got to enjoy the great downtown of Chicago again today. Now granted is was cool and misty/raining, it was still a lot of fun. Dallas' sister-in-law, Laura and niece, Brooke were up for a few days from Houston, TX. We went to Gino's (again) for some yummy pizza then headed over to the Museum of Science and Industry (again) to see some of the things we missed last time. That place is BIG and nearly impossible to see it all in a day or even two. The main reason for our return visit was to see the baby chicks hatching. Griffin has 32 eggs in his classroom right now that are just 18 days away from hatching. They are learning all about chickens and eggs at school. I thought it would be neat for him to get an advanced look at what will be happening in just a couple of weeks with the classroom eggs. Well, I didn't realize it takes up to 10 hours for a chick to make it's way out of an egg. So watching one do so is sort of like watching paint dry - rather boring. But that's ok, we had a great time anyway.

My camera was at home and my sister-in-law is still on the plane with her pictures so none for the blog today!
