Lincoln Park Zoo

We spent this gorgeous Sunday at the Lincoln Park Zoo! I can't say enough fabulous things about this zoo! First of all, it's free!! Secondly, you can get extremely close to the wide variety of animals.  Matt always hesitates to visit zoos because he feels they aren't big enough habitats for the wild animals.  While I tend to agree, I did feel like the exhibits were fairly large and "entertaining" for the caged animals.  I think we'll be visiting here again! 

We started off our zoo visit at the Farm Exhibit.  It was a great starting place, as it was the only open building before the zoo officially opened and it was rather chilly at 9:30 this morning.  However, it's hard to excited about the farm exhibit when we have a real-life farm to visit at Mimi and Papa's.  But, we enjoyed it, nonetheless.

Uncle Eric and Quentin met us at the zoo.  I always love seeing Mya and Quentin interacting.  Quentin, the adventurous/active one, couldn't have been more excited to ride the train! Mya, the scaredy cat, was a bit hesitant.  But, after locking her into the train car with Quentin, she seemed to relax and enjoy herself.


Mya's trademark- I'm nervous!- Her hand in her mouth!

Great picture!

Could they get any cuter?

That's a sleeping bear behind them!


Quentin stops to hug My My!

Quentin is older....Mya is taller!
