To celebrate the fourth (and the fact that both Chris and I had the same
day off!) we went to Brookfield zoo! We had a ton of fun. It reminded
me of the trip we took the weekend we got engaged to the Cincinnati zoo. We saw a polar bear, kangaroos, tons of snakes, zebra, giraffes, and alligators. We saw a seal marital debate in which one seal barked at the other for 10 minutes. We also saw a penguin love triangle that turned vicious! There were dogs that looked (and acted!) like Elsie. They were pushing each other off rocks (our dogs play a similar game where they push us off the bed in the middle of the night!). We also had time for the summer games (with all contestants being dolphins of course). We spent a lot of time watching the dolphins perform and play. They are the biggest reason I got Chris to agree to a 104 degree day at the zoo!. I got a really good picture of a dolphin throwing the ball in the air (it's only a really good picture if you ignore the woman walking through it!)And of course we had time to do some shopping! All in all it was an eventful day.
Me at the entrance to the zoo. I accomplished my goal of making Chris nuts by taking millions of pictures early on in the trip!
Chris and the gigantic (moving!) wasp. Can you tell which one is the pest?
Chris and I the day after we got engaged. We visited the Cincinnati zoo.
