On Monday, Kate and I went to the Field Museum in Chicago for Target Free Day (the second Monday of every month, just in case you're interested and want to check it out). We saw Sue the Dinosaur's 10th anniversary, including the 3D film, Waking the T-Rex; Sue the Dino was the only finished T-Rex fossil found in history. The Dino was named after its founder Sue and her four legged companion.
Then, after 8 years they found out Sue was a male Dino! After Sue we saw the new exhibit Mammoths and Mastadons. We learned all about these huge creatures and their living relative, the elephant; we even got to see what they ate and the size of their poops. Yikes! We also had the opportunity to check out the Native American Exhibit, which was really cool because Adele and I just finished a project on the Illinois Tribe and their dwellings, long houses.
At the end of the exhibits that we got some food. I felt bad so I gave some to the seagulls. I named one Tom The seagull. The Alpha Male of the flock (who I was a little bit afraid of because he got really close to us and kept squawking) of little seagulls was so mean. It was so funny, a little girl started to chase the Alpa Male all around. Whenever I fed the other seagulls he would come up and scream loudly. (still to this day i wonder what happened to the little seagull Tom). Anyway, here's Kate!
We finished our lunch (and feeding our new friend, Tom) and decided to head back to the car. While walking, we came across a really cool jungle gym. Adele and I love to crawl, hang and climb so we had to stop and check it out. We made our way back to the car and headed home. What a day! We both had a lot of fun and learned some new facts.
