Shedd Aquarium

Took a bunch of 10-year-old kids for Outreach to the Shedd Aquarium with Dan the other day. We saw a lot of awesome things, and the kids were very funny. Armani wanted to know why the Aquarium closes at 5, so she went up to the information desk and talked to the lady there for a while. She also wanted to know why the baby beluga whale was following the mother and not the father whale. I had to make up something that made sense -- the mother's got the food, so it would make sense they would be together. What seemed weird to me was that the baby was dark grey, but the parents were milky white. Very strange!
