Adler's Planetarium (Chicago)

We are supposed to go to the Shedd Aquarium again, but the line is soooooooooo long and we found out that the whales, dolphins and penguins are on vacation because their area are being renovated. Since Adler's Planetarium is right next to The Shedd Aquarium, we went there instead.

Here are some of the photos:

he commented on this photo when we reviewed it, he said, "mommy look, i'm sleeping" :D

Kuletz took this photo

this is supposed to look like an article in a newspaper :D

Michael Phelps On SNL

Can't wait for that! Just heard on the news that Michael Phelps will be hosting Saturday Night Live on September 13th. Yey! I Wonder if he'd be nervous :) Also, he'll be in Chicago very soon. I didn't catch when though. I will be doing some research on that. As much as I want to have a glimpse of him, I can't... hubby will have a fit hahaaha!

Few Pics

Just wanted to share with you some of the pictures that kuletz took while we were on our way to the Lincoln Park Zoo here in Chicago (last Wednesday). He loves buildings and water so when we passed by it, he took some snapshots.

Lake Michigan (he's aiming for the boats, but they are hid behind those trees)

We Got Hit By An Earthquake

At around 4:30 a.m. (April 18th) I woke up coz my little kuletz cried, sounds like he was dreaming. I checked him and he just went back to sleep.. as soon as I laid down again about, I felt that my bed is kinda shaking a little bit, and then the shaking just kept escalating plus you can hear the glass windows' tremblings. It felt like a train is passing by our house, but our crib is not "along da riles" :). I knew it was an earthquake. It lasted for about 30-40 seconds and my guess was like intensity 5. After that I immediately turned the t.v. on and watched the news, just for me to know what the intensity was... it sure was 5.4 (that's what they said) but the official one is 5.2. The epicenter is about 300 miles away from Chicago. The quake was felt by other midwest state too. I was amazed to find out on the news that some people don't have any idea that it was an earthquake, maybe because it wasn't very usual to have an earthquake here in Illinois, unlike in California. My hubby was so asleep that he didn't feel a thing, he was even in the basement sleeping and felt nothing ehehehe. To read more about the said earthquake please click here.
