Grayson, Jeff and I spent the night at the Chicago Field Museum! It was so much fun. We got there at 6pm last night and left at 8:30am this morning. There were activities until midnight then lights out at 1am. We were able to sleep anywhere on the 1st floor wherever there was carpet. We brought sleeping bags and air mattresses. Some people brought tents and some people just slept on the floor with their sleeping bags. There was story time next to Sue the Dinosaur at 11pm. Snack time and activity stations before that and an Indian story teller. Grayson thought it was the coolest thing ever. It was his birthday gift from Grandma and Grandpa Quinlan. The museum has overnight stays about 10 times a year and it's for kids between the ages of 6 and 12. There was 700 people there last night. It sounds like a lot but the museum is so huge, it's really not that many people. And the activities were just options, you could just look around the museum if you wanted until 1am! I think everyone was asleep by midnight though since it was all families with kids under 12, no one could stay up that late!! :)
