If you didn’t know it, I like surprises. I do. I’d like to clarify that I don’t really like being surprised by people jumping out of the dark and yelling. So, last post<\/a>, I mentioned two surprise eggs. This post also involves a surprise egg, but one with a cute little (live) chicky coming out.<\/p>\n

\"ForPayton was extremely sneaky and surprised me on the first day of our road trip to Colorado. This is a feat, mind you, since I usually keep track of the credit card and bills online. But he did it. I really did wonder why we were stopping at Chipotle downtown Chicago, but sometimes Chipotles are hard to find so I didn’t really notice, even though I did think it was odd. So when Payton says, “Do you want to stop at Chipotle BEFORE or AFTER we stop a the Museum of Science and Industry?” I started freaking out. I hadn’t been since high school and had always wanted to go again, but mostly I was so surprised that he surprised me!\"For<\/p>\n

\"ForThey had tsunami simulator which showed the effects of different types of seismic activity in the ocean based on the type of shore line and such. Tsunamis aren’t a foreign occurance in Asia Pacific, that’s for sure. As another part of their weather exhibit, we observed a vortex. I don’t think we’ll be seeing any vortexes in AP, but they might be a part of our summer with all of this extreme weather going on!<\/p>\n

Anyway, like I said, there were surprise eggs! We got to see chickens hatching and hobbling around. They had a look of confusion since they were born in a museum on a grate instead of in a barn or a mudroom, but it was still fun to see chicks!!<\/p>\n

And since I’ve almost conquered my liver troubles (thank you Lord!), I took a picture with a digestive exhibit!<\/p>\n

\"For But, the reason Payton remembered the museum in the first place was how I’d talked about the baby exhibit. This was my favorite when I first visited during high school. \"prenatal_476\"I love how it brought dignity to the babies that had died and also brought a sense of personhood to each of them, even in the smallest stages of their lives. I love when it points out that they have fingernails even when you can barely see their fingers! I’m so thankful that Payton surprised me!<\/p>\n
