Chick-ago

Zoe’s first trip to Chicago! She had a blast as did we all, courtesy of Ilise’s Mom. We had been planning this trip for a long time and were worried we wouldn’t be able to go when she woke up at 3 am and wasn’t feeling well. Luckily, we were still able to catch the 11:15 train. She was terrified of the train at first but quickly warmed up to it as we started moving.

She always looks at the fish at the library so she really enjoyed seeing the fish in a big aquarium.

Luckily this beluga was showing off so Zoe got a great view.

These penguins were fast so it was difficult to get a clear shot but Zoe loved seeing them dart in front of her.

Jellies!! These things are fascinating and very peaceful to watch.

This was also Zoe’s first time on a boat. She really likes the water and had a lot of fun. Luckily this didn’t terrify her like the train did at first.

A nice view of Chicago from the water taxi.

Zoe is fascinated with water and fountains but is afraid to get sprayed.

She wasn’t too amused with the giant bean so it took a bit of work to even get this family picture.

She did a bit better with Grams though.

She is definitely in her element here. She had a blast running and screaming.
