Friday morning we had to have Tyler to Moody BI at 9am to met up with the youth group. So no sleeping in & laying around the hotel room!
Today we were off to the Lincoln Park Zoo. This is a free zoo in Chicago..so I thought it would be kinda like any other free stop..Lame. Not at all..it was beautiful and full of animals. It took us 5-6 hours to get through it. We were planning more like 2 hours.
So, this is our picture in front of the entrance...some how the guy couldn't get the sign (not us) centered..lol! You have to laugh at volunteers!
Troy & Trent holding up the sign
Leopard
Polar Bear paw...
Troy laying an egg!
We ate lunch at the outside cafe...we ordered footlong hot dogs. They were like no other footlong hot dog we had seen!! They were huge! Steve broke it in half to try and eat it...yes, it does have kryptonite relish on it!
My ginormous hot dog
Lions...a side note...they make the windows dirty so that the migrating birds don't fly into them.
Tigers. Steve was sure these 'strings' were not
nearly strong enough to hold that Tiger in, if he wanted out!!
Puma, all packed and ready to be shipped out....

Giraffes
My personal favorite...the monkeys...this one was pretty animated
Well, that's all folks! We had a wonderful time together and made a fun family memory. If you get a chance, you should zip around the lake and take in some of Chicago's sites. Maybe we will return before the year, so we can enjoy the Aquarium again...until then!
