Shedd Aquarium - Summer 2009


Our friends, Jeff and Missy Bos, along with their three kids, met us at the Shedd Aquarium for a morning of fun this summer. The Bos family are missionaries in Bangladesh, so it is always nice when we get to see them here in the states. We spent the morning looking at exhibits and ended the day with lunch outside.





It was a flawless visit until, as we were saying our goodbyes, Miles wandered off to check out the dolphins on his own. No one saw him walk away, and by the time we noticed he was gone (you know, 5-10 seconds after he turned the corner), we could not locate him. After several frantic minutes of yelling and running through the cafeteria and children's area, one of the aquarium workers notified us that another worker located him down by the dolphins and whales. Brian and I have never been so panicked. We were just so thankful to find him and that he was safe. In fact, he didn't even know he was lost. We are seriously considering buying him a leash next summer.
