Trip to Lincoln Park Zoo

Today, we visited the Lincoln Park Zoo.  It was ghastly hot, but fun, nevertheless.  We saw a pig, kangaroo, birds, monkeys, gorillas, a leopard, and a polar bear, among other animals.  The boys had a blast.

Of course, no outing with the boys is complete without some sort of mishap.  This time, Will threw his shoe... into the Flamingo Pond!  Amazingly, we found a zookeeper and he and his colleague saved the day!  Honestly, I am surprised it was only a shoe - I fully expected the boys to break into an animal area.  We became members at the Zoo today, so they will have other chances.  Fingers crossed that they never break into a prohibited area.
