Brookfield Zoo

It's wedding time! We arrived in Chicago early enough on the day of the rehearsal to hit the Brookfield Zoo! What a fun afternoon!

Check out these polar bears! They are mother and son but they are the same size, so I wonder how you can tell them apart? The baby had a ton of fun splashing around with the toys in the pool!

We saw a dolphin show that was really neat. They are so darn cute! In the bottom of the picture you can see the splash from one that did a trick!

A quote from one of my favorite books: "I know a Rhino, we like to take tea, I have two sugars, and rhino has three."

I've never seen a real elephant before! Wow, they really are big!

And here's proof!


We went back to the zoo the next day because cousins arrived and we wanted to hang out! Here I am with Fabian and Julien. Our daddies are the real cousins and they live in New York so this is the first time we met!

We couldn't resist this shot - Joey, right where a Joey should be! Hahahahahahaha!

By far, the coolest thing at the zoo...Stingray Bay!

Here I am looking into the pool of stingrays with Mommy and Grandpa Chip.

The barbs had been removed so it was safe to touch the stingrays, but my short little arms had a hard time reaching down far enough. Good thing Grandpa Chip could help me out! They are very soft and very slimey, but I liked it!

Some stingrays were small, and some were BIG like this one!

Enjoying the fun with Daddy!
