zoo trip

Yesterday I got to go to the zoo with my good friend Vicky and her two adorable kiddies!! We headed to the Lincoln Park Zoo downtown around noon and enjoyed a fun filled day together. Allie(4) and Ethan(2) had a really good time and I enjoyed being the tag along. They have a really nice petting/farm area where the kids can pick veggies from a garden. Ethan loved trying all of the delicious veggies(Allie just wanted to see the baby chicks!) The goats(Vicky thought they were baby cows!) were out for petting which was a fun treat and the pig just had baby pigs that Allie thought were very cute(but smelly).
We made a quick stop for ice cream and then finished off the day visiting the gorillas and zebras. Such a fun day...now I know why my mom took us to the zoo so much!! Thanks mom!
