Brookfield Zoo- August 2008

August 22- Well, this is probably going to be our last summer visit to the zoo for this year. Jack took 2 days off this week (Thursday and Friday-supposedly for our Minneapolis trip but I could not travel that far per the doc's instruction) so we spent our trip to the zoo today with Dan and Pam. We had a good time especially at the fountain. Ian was ecstatic running around soaking wet from the water. Our first stop was at the Hamill Family Play Zoo which is mainly for the kids. Ian had fun playing toys with the kids and running around. They have an animal hospital where the kids can play dress-up as a Vet, a zoo-keeper dress up, etc. It started to rain (POUR to be exact) heavily not long after we got into the family play zoo. I am so glad that I have decided to take the stroller into the play zoo. We were stuck in the play zoo for about an hour before the rain decided to stop pouring. Our next stop was at the Living Coast where all the cute penguins and cool fish live. Then we went to the food court for lunch and rest. Our last stop was at the Children's zoo. We didn't do much animal-sight seeing on this trip since I couldn't walk for long(being pregnant) and Ian was getting pretty tired and cranky. Overall, it was a fun day for us to be out even though it rained today.
