The Zoo

We decided to go to Brookfield Zoo today with Papa and Grandma Patti. It turned out to be such a hot and sticky day. The kids really didn't care. In the shade with the breeze it was beautiful. A good time was had by all though!

My favorite exhibit (the Butterflies) was open and they were very active this time. I took nearly 300 pictures. Not many turned out that spectacular, but it was fun none the less! Adam was a little surprised by that. He are a few that I took.



The lion was sleeping, but he was beautiful!


The bear was also sleeping.


But the polar bears were wide awake and playing!



The sea lions were also swimming around. This guy had just jumped out of the water, scooted to the back, and froze before he jumped back in the water. It was incredible!


We also saw a hippo that was hanging out under the water. We had waited for quite awhile and the kids were getting inpatient staring at a blob in the water. We had started to walk away and up he comes for air. It was really neat.


Oh yeah, and I also took a couple of the kids!
