Jen makes us fish & chips for dinner tonight.

This is what we look like after the 3rd straight viewing of Monsters vs. Aliens.

Jurys during a smoke break.

I took Finn with to morning coffee because he was awake at 6: 30 this morning. Together we watched people head to work, which made us feel good knowing we didn't work today. Suckers.

another magical thing

Today there was a blimp in the sky as big as a house and it was out our back door. It was pretty cool.

By The Way...

Did I mention that when we went to the Shedd Aquarium on Memorial Day that there was a super long line out of the door that we were able to walk right past because we are members? For a minute I was on the fence about membership, but no more. Walking past that line was sooooo worth the price. We were also smart enough to pack a good amount of food. Food prices at the Shedd are outrageous. It cost $2.75 for a Coke. Our family is strongly considering memberships at other museums now.

It's overcast today and I'm disappointed in myself because rather than taking the kids some place for edu-tainment like the zoo or aquarium I'm copping out and taking them to the McDonalds with a play area. I don't want to submit to the funk of an overcast day.

Before the Beach...

...we went to the playground outside of the zoo. The kids wanted to ride the lion statues.

Family Trip to the Beach.

We found ourselves at Fullerton Beach today. The water is still cold.

Morning Ride.

I'm here so might as well.

@ Today's Destination.

Time to head home.

My Problem with this Park.

At this park the lawn is unaccessable unless there is an event going on AND you are not allowed to ride a bike for safety reasons (okay, I see that), but there are A LOT of seguways and golf carts moving around. *grumble, grumble*

On Millenium Bridge.

I've seen this before?

Didn't this exact sculpture exist on the quad @ ISU?
