Sleep With the Fishes

The reason for our Chicago trip happening on this exact weekend was because the Shedd Aquarium was having their "SLEEP WITH THE FISHES' OVERNIGHT event. AND I GOT TICKETS!!

We arrived at 6:30...as directed.

Lilly was SO EXCITED!!

The line to get in was long and slow...lots of security and HUNDREDS of bags to be scanned.

Pizza supper was part of the event. (I didn't know that, so we ate  pizza twice in one night!)

The Beluga whale show was wonderful.

Lilly wanted a selfie with a shark in the background.(I have 40 photos that look just like this)

The view of the city, just as the sun was going down...

Actually touching a starfish

The 4-D theater was terrific. The seats spit water, and blew air...I think at one point, we were all tazered!!

This little girl was a smile every day, from the minute she woke up until she fell asleep...exhausted...

Saturday, we hooked up with a friend.  JUST WHEN I THOUGHT this weekend could not get any better.  THIS HAPPENED!!
