Last week was Eric's Spring Break from school and so Mimi decided to make a trip up from Texas for a visit. Mom, Mimi and Eric came to Chicago for a couple of days and we had a blast! The first night they were here we went to our favorite restaurant growing up, Barnaby's, for pizza with all our cousins and their families. It was a huge, rowdy group...but that is how we like it! The next day turned out be be fairly decent weather, so we met Dad for breakfast and then the 6 of us went to the Brookfield Zoo. Eric had never been and Mimi and Dad hadn't been for a long time. We really enjoyed our day out together!
It was surprisingly hard to stay up on this walrus! Mimi just gave up and stood behind it, but Eric fell off several times trying to get up there! He even cut his finger I think...oh, what we go through to get a good picture of siblings!
Eric wanted to get in the kangaroo pouch, so we all got in for the picture.
We had fun taking pictures with this huge fish...I wish I could post them all, but this is my favorite!
The lioness posing for us too...it's like all the big cats were posing! They all look so elegant though!
Gotta love cute penguins! One of these two is a male and the other is a female and the male was like guarding her whenever another male would walk by. It was funny.
I love this picture of the polar bear! He looks so cute...almost cuddly in a I could crush you with my toe kinda way!
Now, you may be wondering why there is a picture of a squirrel from our trip to the zoo. Obviously, the squirrel has not become an animal typically displayed at the zoo, but this squirrel was putting on quite a show for us! He was coming right up to us...like really close! At one point we started walking away and he ran after us and almost got up on my shoe! After that whole thing we felt bad that we didn't have any food for him, but oh well! At leat we got up close and personal with at least one animal on our super cool trip to the zoo!
