Field Trip to the Field Museum

We are making our way through many of the Chicago museums--it looks like we may have all of the major ones covered by the time Hamilton hits his first birthday. Today we visited the Field Museum with Hamilton's friends Ella and Mira who showed us the really cool Crown Family Playlab.

Hamilton and Mira checked out the sounds and animals of the forest at this station. Mira showed Hamilton how to press the buttons to get the animals to make sounds. Here he is showing his excitement.

Then we checked out the rhythm room--which we will most definitely have to take Freeman back to (as Jenny has no rhythm).

Ella and Mira jumped right into the dinosaur nest...
...while Hamilton was a little more cautious.
