Last Monday, the boys and I got to go up to Chicago with my friend Judi, to the Nature Museum and Lincoln Park Zoo for the day! It was beautiful and warm, and we had a great time! The boys really liked the hands on fun at the Museum, and their favorite part was the butterfly room. There were hundreds of butterflies and moths in this sunroom and it was very neat. there was a fun play room and they boys really had a good time. We even got to see a different kind of bird watching the fish on the shore of the pond, waiting to 'catch' the right one for his lunch. We didn't get to see him get his lunch, but he was being pretty stealthy!
After the Museum, we went over to the Lincoln Park Zoo, that was across the street, and walked around there for a while. We got to see the Gorillas, the lions, tigers and cheetah, and the reptile house, and some larger animals too. It was warm out, so we treated the kids to snow cones! They really liked those a lot! We had a fun time with our friends and are grateful that they wanted us to go with them!
