The Burke KidsSo today was a fun filled day. We went up towards Chicago proper to Brookfield zoo where we met our good friends the Burkes. We were there 9 hours.....yes, NINE hours and we didn't hit everything. It was like Disneyland in the form of a zoo. It was hot and some what humid. I plastered the kids with 70+ SPF sunscreen. They didn't burn but, I forgot to get my chest and it is fried to a crisp. Thankfully we are doing indoor things tomorrow in Chicago again.
I took some pictures today but I haven't downloaded them. I am just too exhausted to do it at the moment.
So, highlights for today besides being with some AWESOME friends.... the zoo has a dolphin show and we saw it. They have been holding dolphin shows since 1960 so they did a tribute to the last 50 years. We had fun watching it but Thomas slept through it. He was one tired pup by the time we got there. It had tons of animals and the exhibits were really cool. Thomas loved watching the zookeeper feed the penguins. I think penguins are his favorite animal. Thomas also loves the elephants. As soon as he saw them, he was pretending to be one.
William has discovered that his mouth can make many noises. Today at dinner he kept making a noise that sounds like a pig oinking. It is really quite funny. Our friends got a big kick ot of him.
Kevin I think would love to move back here to this area. I know that it isn't possible now and I am not even sure it ever will be. I like it here and enjoy seeing the run down farmhouses and barns in the country.
Well my dear sweet readers, I am off to bed. My feet ache and I can hardly keep my eyes open. Tomorrow we are going to Wrigley field and Soldier field. We are also going to eat at Mr. Beefs. A place we saw in Food Network.
