The Science Museum in Chicago.

Sometimes I just love picking on my brother-in-law, but then again, I like picking on quite a few people no matter who. Here he is sniffing walnuts again...

...and here he is with the "plumbers butt".


Here's Hope with her new pinky finger! She had her surgery on 11.6.07 when I was texted a message "A pinky finger is born!" Looks really good, huh?

Chicago advertisement- is this the cheapest way to do it via spray paint?

At Chicago's Museum of Science and Industry. I just love the old grandeur museums here! Greg poses by the R2-D2 mailbox appropriate for the Star Wars exhibit being held here.

Greg's idea of a joke! So what goes around- comes around I'll say! haha.

Tickets were sold out for the Star Wars exhibit, so we checked out other stuff. Here is an exhibit of how the internet works.

We purchased a glowing pendent, had our picture taken and downloaded to the pendent, and then you scan the it to the demos. That's Greg and me pictured there- our virtual self forever locked in this museum's server.

Afterwards, we watched a show on how catalysts effect the Earth, even though it may happen on the other hemisphere.

Derek's face is projected on this faceless body.

I think a Star Wars creature got loose and attacked the chics!

This museum has the biggest train table ever! And an actual aircraft(s) overhead!

Theme: Xmas Around the World.

It was soooo crowded here, I was starting to get claustrophobic. We met up at the main xmas tree waiting for Eric and Dawn to show up.

Jen tries out the very well-engineered Dyson hand dryer. It really is efficient as it dries your hands in about 5 seconds! Where else a better place to having something like this than our Museum of Science and Industry!
