We went back to Brookfield today, and it was sooooo fun. Grandma came with us, and we started on "the other side" of the zoo, so we could see the tigers and bears. (And, of course, we stopped by to see the dolphins!) Well, we ended up going in the swamp, which was the coolest thing at the zoo! It had awesome fish, turtles, and birds, and of course, a HUGE alligator. It also had a great display of local wildlife, which included a couple of very playful otters! After the swamp, we checked out the aquarium...that was fun, too! On the way into the aquarium area, the Bub spotted a "splash park" so we had to stop and splash around after lunch, before heading home. It was definitely the best day we've had at the zoo this year!
After our exciting morning, we had a wonderful dinner tonight with Jake, Solo and Colleen, and the Bevs. The boys just love to play next to each other (they still don't play with each other, but whatever!) and we had a summer feast--grilled meat, fresh DeKalb sweetcorn, strawberries and peaches--and yummy oreo dessert! Eating all those fresh foods is one of the things I LOVE about summer!
