Momma Day - Brookfield Zoo

We knew we wanted to use one of our long weekends this summer to visit my best friend Becky and her two kids, Gabby (3) and Sammy (1-1/2) in the suburbs of Chicago, and we were finally able to arrange the perfect weekend to do just that.  As a bonus adventure, we also scheduled our first ever visit to the Brookfield Zoo.


We made it!  First stop: the camels.
Attempting a group pic - a major fail due partially to uncooperative children, but mostly to an idiot adult female who refused to get out of the background.
Baby giraffe!!!  Awwww.
The girls loves her zebras...

...and her Gabby.  Gabby adores Megan and looks up to her like a proper little sister should.  Hannah is sort of over being bossed around all the time.

Enjoying the dolphin show with Aunt Becky
Underwater seal viewing
The polar bear exhibit was super cool!
Trying again on the way out - I wish we would have had Aunt Becky & kiddos with us, but at least we didn't have a strange moron in the background.

This was definitely one of our favorite summer adventures.  What a great zoo!  and even better company!!
