Since we were already in Chicago for Aidan’s photo shoot, we decided to stay a little longer and visit the Brookfield Zoo.  We were only able to see a few places in the zoo because we had a long drive ahead of us.  We bought a membership and have plans to come back here next week. (Madison will be able to come with us on that visit since she wasn’t able to come this time).

This zoo is so awesome.  It has it’s own dolphin show and exhibit.  It is just so amazing.  It is as wonderful as the one at Seaworld we saw last week in Florida.

Waiting for the show to begin.

Emerson and Aidan got to feed the sting rays.  I don’t think I could ever touch that smelly fish like that.  Yuck!

Aidan and me on the carousel.

Emerson and daddy.

Ronald and me.  Sometimes it is just fun to be a kid.

Emerson on her favorite animal….the wolf!

This butterfly felt the need to land on Ron’s head.

I really loved this butterfly.
