Friday we ran into a party at the YMCA with a bounce house, tug of war, and free popcorn and lemonade. Saturday we went to the Brookfield Zoo! We showed up as it opened and there were no crowds (this factor colors our view of places). We felt more like we were going to Disneyland than a zoo and Jack's excitement never ebbed. Steve and I were happy because we got in for free and we parked for free (Field Museum perk) and Griffy was happy about each animal except for the pudgy Pygmy Hippo. We got to see the penguin feeding with only two other people!
Sadly, the humidity never sleeps. It was out in full force to destroy my morning run and it continued to create a sheen of sweat on each of us, during our trip to the Brookfield Zoo, but a brief thunderstorm brought a bit of relief in the evening. I sure miss the mountain air of Utah.

What a great weekend! Except for the humidity. Gross!! It makes me think of the San Diego Zoo those years ago. Somehow being hot and uncomfortable diminished the fun in just about anything! But free almost makes up for it, right? That always makes a huge difference in how we view our outings. :)
The mountain air misses you too!!!
That looks fun! Think we can go next time we come too?
hey, that face that Griffy is making in the first picture... where have I seen that before?... Isn't there a picture of his mom doing that on Amy's blog? :)
You guys are so funny!
Terry and I went to the Brookfield Zoo one time when we were there visiting his family. Such a fun place!
