I finally managed to download the pictures from our trip to Chicago. We started the day at Shedd Aquarium and finished it up at Wrigley Field.

The aquarium was alot of fun — Poppy seems to be a big fan of the water. She loved the penguins, the dolphins and the beluga whales. I was very impressed with the whales, too. They’re so pretty!

By the time we finally found the El station (or whatever they’re called) and got to Wrigley, the Cubs were already losing 3-0. The Reds got hit after hit, homerun after homerun. Poppy was having a blast, though. She’s very much a people person. She was getting pretty tired by the 7th inning, and the Cubbies weren’t showing any signs of turning things around, so we went back to the car for the long, long, long drive home.

We took Poppy to the zoo for the first time today. She enjoyed the people-watching more than the animals. She was in luck on that front; it was about 75 degrees and sunny today, and there were a gagillion people at the zoo with us.

Poppy did enjoy a few of the animals. She liked the sea lions, and one penguin splashing around in the water really caught her attention.
