Today is another long day. We leaved the hotel a bit late because Lincoln Zoo open at 10 o'clock. We took the CTA into town as same as yesterday. I just realized it takes 10 minutes longer when we go in town because there're many train run in the Loop and sometime our train has to wait for another train.
We took the bus from State street to Lincoln Zoo. It's not so far. I think Chicago city is small but there're so many tall building so I feel like it's bigger than New York City. I should search in google map and figure it out. George told me Chicago is smaller.
We arrived at the zoo around 11 o'clock. The weather is very hot. I thought I was in Thailand. George told me and the kids that today was gonna be a cold day so we dressed warmly but it came out VERY HOT. I took off some of my shirt. We gave the kids 1 hour to walk around in the zoo and meet for lunch at 12:30 pm. George, I and In walked in the zoo together. We went to see a lot of animal but what I haven't seen before were Polar bear, cockroach house (ton of cockroach) I was so ........excited.. Ape playing computer. We met the kids for lunch. June, Didi bought doll slipper and hat. Seem like the girls love to shopping soooo much. We ate Taco and milk for lunch. I was so full because I ate all day. I like to prepare thing for eat. I carried soda and mama noodle.
On this morning I made 1 minute cake in the hotel. Gam,Didi and June like it. They like to eat my snack and food. I don't know why they're so hungry.
Today in the train when they saw me eating candy. One of the girl asked me for candy and then all of them asked me for my candy! Y Y I just realized why Gam and May ate chocolate in the corner at the airport on the way to America.
After lunch, everybody seem to be done with the zoo even they didn't see all of animals yet. I think because the weather was so hot and we're tired.
So we decided to move to Shedd Aquarium. It took us a while to Shedd because we thought we're in the right road and tried to find the bus stop and we couldn't find any bus stop on that road. After walk a while I was curious it might be another road next to us so we walked there and finally got on the bus.
When we arrived at Shedd. George didn't want to get off because he thinks the bus will turn around and stop in front of Shedd. Well.. It's not. So we have to walk further but good thing is the view near the lake is super beautiful that make us walk slower. Gam,June and Didi fed the duck and the duck follow them.
Water in the lake is so blue. I love it. We can see Chicago city from out here. I and In walked to Shedd and wait for George and the rest of the kids. George arrived at 4:16 pm. and Shedd was about to close. The staff was so kind he let us get in there even we it passed the time to get in there already which mean we didn't buy the ticket! Yayyyy The girls bought some more dolls.
We was walking back to CTA station but I saw the sign to Buckingham Fountain which I heard it's very big and beautiful. I thought it's showing in 30 minutes so we walked there and wait for the show but the guy told us that they don't show until June! They just filled the water yesterday.
Anyway ,we had a lot of fun taking crazy picture together with George. I think he will post it soon. All the kids were in the photo.
We walked in to town again. We're so tired so we just ate whatever close to the CTA. We ate at Dairy Queen. I love Banana spit. Oh I mean the kids ate food like burger or hot dog or turkey sandwich but I wasn't hungry so I ordered cheese curds. Jean and Pokpong tried to steal my food!
Before we took the train home, I stopped by at 7/11 to buy some milk because I want to eat Apple Jack. We arrived at hotel around 8:30 pm. June and Didi wanted to drink my milk! What's wrong with these guys!
Dada and Japan came to see us. They're with their parent at 9th floor. Japan's mom told us about how crazy of the car park is. They walk a lot and pay a lot for parking(140$ per day) and the traffic to town is bad and it's a long way.
I should tell Pokpong about this. He wants us to rent the car and drive.
Oh about Bangpun Sai and Jinny, they're fine and keep talking talking talking and didn't see the world around them so George has to be very FIRM about what he wants them to do. I mean we try many ways but they like the hardcore way. So these days George and I talk to them A LOT. George and I also talked about friendship and how to take care each other today. We want everybody to be happy and enjoy the trip and to be good friends make a big difference.
Gam gave us a good laugh today. She is so forgetful. She forget everything. Since we've been here, she lose her toothbrush, ring, CTA card blah blah blah.
The girls in my room are so weird. They have a lot of fun watching Gam's foot skin that pill out. June and Didi were very supportive. They get so excited to watch Gam pill her skin. They took video too! In curious about what they did. Gam saves her foot's skin in her notebook. If you want to see it, you may ask her to show. She is very proud.
Many thanks for taking good care of In.
