Part 2: The Bean!

For the second stop of the day, we went to The Cloud Gate, otherwise known as the bean! But we first had to walk a ways to get to it!

 Segway tour! It would have been so nice to use these, but at least we got our walking in!

 Anybody want to jump in? Most people go to warm places over spring break. Us? Nah.

 Loved this arrangement!

 

 There it is!!!

 Dorky faces!

 Umm, I don't see any ice..

     After the bean we ate lunch across the street at Panera. If you ever go to Chicago, don't do this! All seats were taken once we got there!

Part 1: The Aquarium

     Yeah, it's been a while, but that break was much needed!
     Probably like most of you the fourth quarter of school is just around the corner! I am actually on spring break right now (and it is sooo nice!). Track keeps me busy pretty much every day, but on Tuesday I broke away from it when my family went on a day trip to Chicago! I took soo many pictures, but few are actually in focus, not blurry, and have a decent color. Okay, so to start off the day, we went to the Shedd Aquarium.

 Sometimes if you don't look up, you'll miss some pretty cool stuff!

 This guys facial expression was pretty funny!

 We found a Nemo! (Hiding in the corner, trying to escape!)

 This is a creature, not a plant. It looks so weird though!

 The guy in front posed so I could snap this pic :)

 The dolphins I think were doing their track workout, swimming laps.. around, and around, and around

 What's an aquarium without some goldfish?!?

I'll post some pictures of the Cloud Gate (the bean) and the Sky Deck in upcoming posts!

A Day with the Eagles

Soo, a couple weeks ago, my family and I went to some areas around our city where you can see tons of eagles. And of course I took tons of pictures! But it was super cold and I couldn't see very well, and we were far away, but here they are anyhow!

Some of those pictures were just of the surroundings and the almost completely frozen river! 

Trust me, I really do hope to post more in the coming weeks! :)

Snow Flurries!

 I don't know about you, but the snow just seems to keep on coming! Yesterday we got at least three more inches!

It would not focus well, no matter how many times I tried!

But this snow isn't too bad, it's just the light fluffy stuff!

Sorry 'bout lack of posting. I'll try to post more often!
