The Zoo!!

Today we got up early, and headed downtown to the Lincoln Park Zoo. You know, it really is an amazing place! I never give it much credit because it is far away–and it’s sooooo hot!

We had a wonderful time. The lion was roaring which if you’ve never heard a real lion roar–you don’t know what you are missing! It’s nothing like you hear on TV or the movies–it’s more ‘all encompassing’ if that makes any sense!


I’m not sure you can tell–but this is a sleeping female lion! Her paw is up on the window-but she is sound asleep. It was too precious not to take a photo of! One of our favorite moments of the day!

We ate lunch at the cafeteria, which was expensive-but very nice! I will upload my pictures when I get a few minutes a little later!
