Franklin Park Zoo

Chris and I took the kids to the zoo today. V had a great time checking out all the animals. We got caught in a torrential thunderstorm while in the barn. Cordy LOVED the horses, and V played with the puddles. They’ve got some construction going on near the tropical house, and the only entrance was clearly marked ‘Exit Only’, even though they’ve got all routes to the real entrance blocked off. Didn’t get to see the apes or snakes, which was a bummer, but we saw peacocks, condors, keas, flamingos, kangaroos, emus, zebras, giraffes, ostriches, lions and tigers (sadly no bears – V really wanted to see Baloo). Goats, sheep, horses, owls, and chickens and things. We had an awesome time! Home again for naps (after a bit of a fuss), freeze pops and burgers for dinner. Yay!
