Brookfield Zoo

We love going to the zoo with the kids and since we have a season pass we go quite a bit. Each time we go we try to see different things. So far this summer we have been to Stingray Bay, the Butterfly Garden, the new Bear exhibit and Hamil Family Play Zoo. Today we went on the Carousel as well which is always a lot of fun. I think we have seen all the animals this summer having been there at least 5 times. Evi's favorite is Stingray Bay and Robert really loves Hamil Family Play Zoo. I think baby boy just likes the zoo.





Don't fall in!


Such a happy guy.

The first week of summer is over and we survived.

The Dr. is in.

So cute!

We decided to take the whole family to the White Sox game. I'm not sure if we are nuts or not but it turned out pretty well. Everyone survived and we didn't even have one melt down.

Before we went in.

The girls.

Robert fell asleep and missed all the fireworks.

Evi went to a birthday party at Sweet N Sassy. The girls were picked up in a pink stretch limo.

Evi's last field trip of the year was at Brookfield Zoo. We were so glad the weather was good.
