Just about every summer we make a trip downtown to Lincoln Park Zoo. It's really lovely. It is about the only zoo I can enjoy. I find zoos quite depressing for all the animals. Especially the big cats & other animals that are confined to small spaces with lots of concrete. This zoo is really beautiful. Tons of big shade trees, flowers & not much concrete for the animals to reside on. The movie "Return to Me" was set in the area, it's a favorite of mine.
Our attempt at a family shot (taken by a stranger). Yes, the boys are chowing on soft pretzels.
They had a nice air conditioned kids play area. A climbing area fashioned after a rain forest (or something) Luke had a great time there. Quinn was dying to go up, maybe next year little buddy.
Very fun family outing!
