Chicago Zoo Day

We were so lucky to be able to plan a trip to Chicago to celebrate the holidays with the whole Conn Family.  We arrived to the new house and watched as the kids just played and had a great time.  We were treated to a delicious meal and lots of family time.  

The next morning it was cold but we decided to head off to the Chicago Zoo.  It may have been cold but it didn't effect us or the animals.  The kids were so happy to be together.

The mama kangaroo definitely held some happy kids.

Garrett took the opportunity to discuss animals with the zoo specialist.  He informed her of many of his interesting facts about giraffes. She was very impressed with his knowledge.

All the men were very intrigued by how close we were to the giraffes.

Quick photo opp.

Everyone had to get into the act.

Let's go polar bear - bring us to Santa.

One of the best exhibits was the monkeys and gorillas.  We watched a family of monkeys with three babies and I could honestly say we could have stayed there for hours.  We even got to see baby Nora the new baby gorilla.  Then on our last stop was to say goodbye to the lions.

The whole Zoo was decorated for Christmas with singing Christmas trees and lots of holiday cheer.

What a happy and fun day!
