This weekend was a weekend with just the 3 of us for the most part. Cameron and Dane had a daddy/son overnight on Friday while I went to see my college roomies. They both live in Chicago and have started a monthly book club...I was fortunate enough to be invited to participate. I got home Saturday early afternoon and we had our daily dance party on the deck, played in the pool, went for a wagon ride...all the fun things that are typical around here. On Sunday, we went to the Lincoln Park Zoo in Chicago. It is a perfect size for Dane because it's not all that big and best of all - it's FREE!! We went on a carousel ride, saw monkeys, apes, lions, tigers, camels, zebras and the farm animals (that he'll be seeing again this week at the Kosciusko county fair).
Ready for a day @ the zoo!
Carousel ride with my crazy dad!
Monkeys were my favorite!
Chicago Skyline:
Deserves a story all to itself:
So this big guy came out and threw his head back and let out about 8 consecutive "roars"...not sure if he wasn't liking the spectators in front of his cage or what, but Dane did not like Lion speak! He didn't cry, but he kind of whined and wanted to get as far away from it as possible. I wish I had thought to grab the video camera...for Cameron & I - it was pretty cool, but Dane was a bit freaked out!
