Zebras, Giraffes, and leaves oh my. W and I are no strangers to the zoo. I am pretty sure we wore out our membership in the first few months, but it was a special day at the zoo. Not only was it 65 degrees on an October day in Chicago, it was Tyler's first visit ever to Brookfield zoo.
Watching my cousins kids three days a week has brought a lot of new experiences our way, and I would be lying if I said that we did not need an adventure from time to time to break up the days. Sometimes it is just safer to take two toddler boys out of an environment where sharing means caring and bring them to a place where they can expel some serious energy.
So with that in mind, we bundled up the boys, hit up the drive thru at Dunkin, and hit the road to visit all of our furry friends. Despite the excitement of the rhinos and bears, the real fun came when we set free the animals W and L in a field of freshly fallen fall colored leaves. I truly believe the boys would have thrown leaves in the air for hours if they had not spotted the park a few yards away. After a few trips down the slide and a spin through the gift shop, we said farewell. Another successful outing if I do say so myself. I mean, c'mon, look at those two characters! So cute!
