Museum of Science & Industry

We skipped Black Friday shopping today and went to Chicago's Museum of Science and Industry instead. Here's Eli with his cousins Hannah, Emma, and Abbie.

He loves playing with his cousin Hannah, who is 2 years old.

Checking out the U-505 Sub exhibit (that was Rob's favorite)
Ben and Eli peeking through a simulated sub window (the sub in the above picture is real though)
Abbie and Emma practicing driving a sub
Can you tell we spent a lot of time at the sub exhibit? Eli had fun.
Me and Eli taking a rest while the others were still reading about the sub.
Eli loved exhibits with phones...
I realized when I got home that I ran out of steam for taking pictures after the sub exhibit. But we saw a beautiful Christmas tree display with 50 trees decorated with ornaments from various countries around the world, a cool train exhibit, a baby chicks exhibit, a fairy castle, etc. Ben, Eli and I were done after 4 1/2 hours at the museum and headed home, but the Reeves family stayed almost until closing time! They have impressive stamina :)

There must be lots to see there to be there for so long. Looks like you had fun.

That looks like a great way to spend Black Friday to me. I love Chicago museums!
