Chicago History Museum

6/13/08
I took the kids to the Chicago History Museum today. We have never been there before, mainly because I thought it would be boring. But it was really cool. The best area for kids is the Sensing Chicago exhibit.
Who wouldn't want a picture of their kids as a Chicago-style hot dog?
On the ceiling above the bun is a mirror so that the kids can see what they look like as a hot dog.  It says, "Mmmmm.  You look delicious!"





















Maddie riding a high-wheeled bike, the kids jumping around in the sound area, and the scent of Chicago history.  Not all of them were sweet!
Here are the kids squinting in the sun.
Other fun things were the train and old fashioned el cars to climb on, an interesting exhibit on the great Chicago fire and, out back, a melted remnant of storefront burnt in said fire.
