The Museum of Science and Industries!

Hi! I'm already back with another thing I did! Today, me and my family got to go to the Museum of Science and Industry! We got to go see baby chicks and baby mice! They were so cute that when my mom said she didn't see the mice,  I insisted on bringing her back to see them. The chicks were both wet and fluffy. Newborns and day-olds. We also did a weather exhibit that had some hands on things that kids like me can do. It also had giant indoor tornado that I could control with some levers. We also saw a humpback whale movie that was about whaling and mostly about humpback whales. We also saw a mirror maze. We learned about patterns. My dad got lost in the maze! Also, when we found my sisters, they knew exactly where the exit was.

First Two Days in Chicago

      Hello, visitors! I am not in Michigan anymore-
I'm in Chicago, Illinois! Yesterday, me and my family got to go to Legoland! It was so much fun! We got to build race cars and race them down tracks. Margeaux made a house on wheels! It was so cute! And we got to see how                     real lego bricks were made! Me, Margeaux, and my dad saw a lego movie short and there was special effects  that made it rain water for about 2 seconds. It was in 3-D, so I got to wear special 3-D glasses.
       Today, I went to the Art Institute of Chicago, where I saw all these wonderful paintings. Here are some of the artists I looked at: 
  • Vincent Van Gogh. He painted dark at first, and then lighter and happier. Also, he painted the bedroom paintings. It's the first time that they're all together!



  • Paul Gauguin. He painted a picture with a Cézanne in the background.
  •  Cézanne. He painted his wife sitting in a yellow chair. She looked serious.
  • Pissarro. She paints people doing everyday things, like drinking coffee. 

  • Toulouse-Lautrec. He painted a picture of ballerinas.
  • Seurat. He painted a picture called A Sunday on La Grand Jatte. It's made up of tiny dots.   
  • Claude Monet. He painted lily pads and haystacks. I have a lily pad painting in my bedroom at our apartment! 
Also, there are some miniature rooms. It looks like they took an entire house or palace and shrunk it!
