Lincoln Park Zoo

We took our first trip to the Lincoln Park Zoo today. We joined our friends Mara and Ana for a beautiful spring day amongst the creatures. There were no pictures taken because I was too busy wrangling up our little explorer. We enjoyed seeing the monkeys, apes, barnyard animals, and llamas. Rachael really enjoyed trying to feed her cookies to the seagulls at the picnic area. She doesn't share her mothers unnatural fear of large birds yet. We liked the gibbons best. They entertained us with acrobatic swinging. The zebras and chimpanzees seemed to be starting their "spring romance", so we decided not to stick around too long. When I was a camp counselor, the zebras started "mating" in front of my group of 7 year olds. I didn't need to relive that memory! Overall it was a great first trip to the zoo. I am sure we will be back with a camera next time!
