Up Close and Personal

The Lincoln Park Zoo was one of my favorite places when we lived in Chicago. It was walking distance from our house and is FREE!!! Man, its things like the zoo that really make me miss the city!!!

The gorillas at the zoo are AMAZEBALLS! Seriously, they interact with the kids and seem so friendly. How could you not be amazed???

This baby hippo took a liking to Jack and swam up to the glass to check him out!

This was always Jack's favorite part of the zoo. How cool is it that you can see the polar bears swimming right up to you??
