We took advantage of one of the sunnier days this summer (come on, what is up with this weather??) and headed to the city to Lincoln Park Zoo. Highlights of the day:
- watching the monkeys eat their poo. Not a highlight for me, but the boys STILL talk about this.
- seeing a mommy zebra nurse her new baby. Aww, so cute. Then, once she was done nursing, she kicked him with her hind legs. Not so cute. They also still talk about this.
- watching the lions napping.
- walking through the penguin exhibit very quickly, as the boys couldn't stand the "stinky birds".
- snakes, crocodiles, spiders and all of the creepy crawlies. Again, not a highlight for me, but the boys really enjoyed them.
- seeing the polar bear swim around and taking a picture in front of it for Julia!!
- watching Gavin gleefully splash around in the fountains. In his diaper. The other boys splashed too, but Gavin enjoyed it the most!
- taking a picture of all four boys, who were all color coordinated. On accident? Maybe. But probably on purpose. :)
- having the front of our van fall off while driving and having to lay on the ground and tape it up with masking tape so we could make it back home from the city. Oh wait. Not a highlight.
All in all, a great day with the boys and Aunt Kaycie. Hopefully we'll go back soon!
