Chicago part 3

 Saturday morning we went around the corner from our hotel to Legoland for Preston's birthday.  The stuff you can do with a Lego is pretty impressive.  Preston had a good time spending his birthday money in the store.  I wish I had invented Legos!



 We had one more ticket on our Citipass, which was a choice between the Alder Planetarium, or the Art Museum.  Since it was Preston's birthday we let him make the choice.  He picked the Planetarium.  I was super excited about this, and again was met with claims that I am a nerd.

 The kids did have fun in the Discovery Zone.....

 especially when they realized you could try out a space toilet.  We are rednecks, this is good to know.


 We watched several 3D movies as part of our citipass experience.  The one at the Aquarium was awesome, the one at the museum was good.  The one at the Planetarium.....the kids said they thought they were going to die of boredom.  Luckily, it was only 30 minutes long and I thought it was good....it was about the sun.
 We did not make it for very long at the Planetarium before we decided to go back to the hotel and swim and just hang out.

 We ordered Chicago style pizza and enjoyed being together as a family.
