Lions and Tigers and Bears ... Oh My!








On Sunday we dressed Owen in his Brookfield (Chicago) Zoo t-shirt from our buddy Jack Lyle, and embarked on his first zoo trip.

We saw fluffy birds and playful monkeys, and this animal that looks like a cross between a mini kangaroo and a big rabbit! Owen enjoyed the Fallow Deer the most, cheering them on as they rushed the fence for more food. As always I loved the regal tigers; although we were a bit concerned when we saw an empty stroller outside the cage and some very full looking cats inside! But no worries for Owen - he rode in comfort and safety all day long and we all enjoyed our visit.
