Almost forgot to blog about our trip to the Aquarium!

Yes, I know - Kevin never likes to look at the camera!

On Februrary 22nd, we all (us and Dani) went downtown Chicago to the Shedd Aquarium for Devon's late birthday present! We had been planning to go in February and that week was free - you know me and FREE!!! Well, we did have to pay for the Coral reef, lizard section and the dolphin show (don't waste your money on the dolphin show - but the reef was AMAZING!)


I don't know when I've seen Devon so excited! He just kept wanting to move from one tank to another saying "and more", "and more!" "and MORE!" Once he got to a tank we had to make him stay and actually look at some of the fish. When he did that - he got really excited.

Lexi was a little nervous walking out over the plexi-glass (sp?) floor over the sting rays!

We had a great (LONG) day!

Blue Man Group

For Kevin's Christmas present - I got tickets for us to go see "Blue Man Group" in downtown Chicago. We went last night and boy was it tons of fun!
I can't believe all the outrageous stuff they do without saying a single word! At one point in the show, they went to the back of the theatre - way up top - and pulled out about 30 rolls of giant toilet paper looking rolls and then started unrolling them and the audience just pulls it over their heads and passes it to the person in front of them. All the while there are stobe lights and black lights shining - definitely enough to give you a headache - but it was a blast!

We sat in the 5th row - dead center - in the poncho section (to protect your clothes from who knows what). There were twinkies flying around, colored water, paint, cereal - all kinds of stuff. None hit us, but you can't be too careful!

They don't let you take pictures in the theatre (BUMMER) - so we did get 2 outside in the lobby!

Yea!!! - My gift was a hit! :)
