zoo fun...

After the massive flood we experienced last week, we're finally warming up here in Chicago and were are finally having Spring

a fairly swollen portion of the Chicago River 
Given the lovely weather over the weekend, we decided to go to the Lincoln Park free zoo


Eating candy and writing haikus in Finnish on the train




Not pictured: Red Mango that was consumed minutes prior to making this picture

Finally, we arrived at the promised land

A what a view that land had!

Could it be? Spring blooming?

How many animals are in this shot?

Sara

An anxious little guy

More anxious little guys

Some more monkeys

and even more monkeys

Unfortunately most of the big cats were off display for dinner time

And this little guy was really into that... carcass 

as was she

Color Theory 101

Can giraffes touch their... hooves?

SPRINGTIME YA'LL

No polar bear, either...

But it's ok, I think Sakari and Lauri have polar bears at home in Finland  



and Molly's cupcakes for dessert 
a great afternoon was had by all! (I think... and hope)

that's all she wrote...
