March March March!

I can NOT believe it is already April. March was amazing. We just had spring break and now Micah is back to the call of duty in his surgery rotation. Fun times.

Before spring break we had a visit from Micah’s sister! We went downtown and all around and back again.

My favorite painting at the Art Institute.

I want this teaset.

 

All of these things sold at the museum shop. I want them all.

The Museum of Science and Industry! My favorite place!! They have a new “Science Storms” exhibit which is awesome. They had a giant simulated tornado and a Tesla Coil!!! See below!!

 

Clowns!

We also got to be pretend doctors at this live exhibit where you can work with a patient dummy “Stan”. As you can imagine, this is a hoot when you are doing it with an actual Medical student.

And I always love watching the baby chicks.

We still had the museum pass after Kristen left, so, WE WENT AGAIN!

ROBOT!!!!!

Hall of Mirrors

Heat sensitive video capture device! See the smiley face on my hand? I licked it so cool it down and it appeared on the screen! Neat!
