 Here we are at the Shedd Aquarium in the aquarium area. Lots of interesting exhibits for the kids.

 This is one of those fish that swims with his mouth open because he is a filter feeder. There were a lot of brine shrimp in the water for feeding time. It was hard to get a good photo as the water was a bit murky.

 Checking out the Beluga whales who also were feeding. There were some funny things floating in the water that looked like squid or octopus.

 Much of the facade inside the oceanarium was all man made but quite realistic looking. This is a photo of a little run of water coming down the fake boulders.

 Yes, you too can pretend you're part of the living coral. Stephen and Kristi are sticking their hands through the openings.

 This was one MASSIVE fish that was from Australia. This fish was probably as big as I am! Unfortunately, he liked hiding out in the back and the one time he came out I wasn't ready to take his photo.

 But not until we walked around a bit. This is a great view from the baseball fields near the Aquarium. In the background you see the Sears Tower and CNA plaza (the red building) on the right.

 I know I didn't catch the kids too well but the shimmering of the water was simply amazing.

 This is a shot from inside the Oceanarium. I guess I should have spot metered the background as you can barely see it. But it looks like a NW coastal forest.
