Lincoln Park Conservatory and the Zoos

9/13/07

Max wanted one more "animal day" before starting school, so he chose what he calls the "little zoo", also known as the Lincoln Park Zoo. We almost walked right past the area where you can view the polar bears swimming, but it caught Max's eye and he ran down to get a closer look. It was so cool. One of my favorite things to watch at the zoo! Max was so excited to see the bear swimming in circle and passing by him so close. It made his day.


We also went to the Lincoln Park Conservatory right next door, so that we could see something new. Max liked it, sort of, but was impatient to get back over to the zoo.

On Saturday September 15th, we went back to Brookfield Zoo. We tried to find Goldie the baby Wombat, but the exhibit was not open. We did see the two Amur tiger cubs playing though! They were so cute. The new places we went were the Fragile Kingdom and the Children's Zoo. The Children's Zoo had a lot of farm experiences. Max and Maddie got to pet a chick and brush the goats. And I got to help the kids wash their hands a milion times afterwards! Fun for the whole family!
