resident discount

Today was resident discount day at Shedd Aquarium. The girls and Brian were working today so I took the boys. The discount was free for general admission. It would only allow us to see 3 exhibits but I was ok with that. 

Bailee dropped us off at the train at 7:30. These boys looked as if they ride regularly. :-) We rode all the way in and still had a 2 mile walk. I didn't mind, I needed my steps since I didn't run this morning. The walk to the aquarium seemed longer for the boys than our way back, but isn't that how it often is?

We're trying to get a picture with the skyline. Carson struggles with the sun. 

When we get to the counter they have an even better deal for residents. It's normally $39.95 to see all the exhibits. Today it was $15! Sold!! The boys were ecstatic! Me too. 

We saw a 4-D show on Sea Monsters plus an Aquatic Show with Beluga Whales. So cool!

We were also able to touch/pet stingrays. We could stay as long as we wanted. We stayed longer here than most other exhibits.  

Our walk back to the train was quick and beautiful. Mason was determined to make the 4:11 train but I wanted pictures too. 

Carson struggling again with the sun. 

We did make the 4:11 train. We didn't sit by each other for the first few stops though. We didn't get on the train till 4:05. We cut it close. Bailee picked us up and the boys fell asleep on our 15 minute drive home. Does that mean they had fun? I'll take that as a yes!
