Here are some pictures from our second visit to Lincoln Park Zoo this spring. One of my best friends from college Andrea met us there with her daughter Maddie. We had a great afternoon of visiting and seeing all the animals.
We all enjoyed the spider monkeys, marmosets, gorillas, kangaroos, and polar bears. Maddie liked the pink flamingos. I enjoyed the mama gorilla hugging her baby gorilla while they were napping. I wasn't able to get a picture of it, but it was pretty amazing. The pictures are of Maddie and Rachael petting a goat. Also a family shot. We didn't take as many pictures as we should have!
Rachael especially loved the carousel they had there! She rode on a lion that did not move up and down. I stood next to her holding her on the lion. The carved animals on the carousel were absolutely beautiful. Rachael had so much fun, that she unexpectedly starting crying giant tears as soon as she realized that we were leaving and that the ride was over. I know this reaction is probably pretty common with kids, but this was our first real experience with Rachael crying like this. Luckily she calmed down a few minutes later. It was very adorable how broken-hearted she was that the ride was done. We'll have to visit it again one day!
