Today my niece had an unexpected birthday. She's turning eight in February. Michael and I took her to the Shedd Aquarium, and it was free except to see the Sponge Bob Square Pants in 4d, as well as the sharks, but we didn't go there. The Sponge Bob movie was so short that we had to pretend like the 20 bucks we paid was admission into the whole thing for us to feel like it was worth it. Sam also got a facepainting of a dolphin. (Pictures to come later!) After this, we were going to take the bus, but it was snowing so hard outside that we had to take a cab. We went to Navy Pier where sam made her first build-a-bear, which she named Hannah, after Hannah Montana. It was funny because the sound that she put in it was Jingle Bell Rock, and I don't think she understand that it was a Christmas song, but she was set on having it. After all this, we ate at McDonald's...and what happy meal doesn't make a day better...a happy meal with the nutrition facts on the wrapper, that's what. Michael and I calculated that the burger and fries we ate was 80% of the fat intake we were supposed to have in a day. We also went to a game store that was 50% off because it was closing that day. I don't understand why it is only 50% off, it should be discounted more to get the most of what the store has left. Anyway, all in all, I think it was an awesome last day in Chicago. After all this, we still had even more fun by watching Wipe Out on TV before our trek to Orland Park (see last post.)
In three words...
Birthdays are AWESOMEEEEEEEEEEEEE.
