The birthday celebration

Braving one of Chicago's most coveted attractions on Saturday may not have been the best idea we've had in awhile, but we somehow convinced the Morris' to meet us at the Shedd aquarium to celebrate Tommy's birthday.
We plopped Margot in the playroom while we loaded the car with what seemed like everything but the kitchen sink...
Always happy to go along for the ride.
Below, Tommy enjoyed being chased by the girls. This promptly came to a halt when he nearly tripped head-first into the shark tank. Don't let the lack of people in the background fool you- MILLIONS were waiting in line.
Shea's turn at reining the little guy in.
We had to walk away when Tommy melted down that he couldn't go in the "pool".
Tommy plowed through his snacks before the designated snack-time, but the girls were shockingly generous with their salty treats.
He was far more entertained by the cousins than the fish. Thanks, guys!!
Notice the perfect placement of the burp cloth on Uncle Joe-- Margot burned a bridge with Aunt Katie. But what an adorable fountain she is...:)
Happy Supper Bowl Sunday! Go Commercials!
