Our realtor gave us a very generous gift after we bought our house here and we have had so much fun going to the Brookfield Zoo in the last 10 months. And I'm pretty sure we will buy our own family pass for the next 5 years at least.
And the best part is, the fun never stops. The zoo puts on a pretty amazing light display in December that all four of us were able to enjoy during a steady snowfall on a cold Saturday evening. The lion, however, did not enjoy the cold. Or the snow. Or the fact that his only way back to his warm shelter involved walking his giant paws through the cold, snowy grass. We only headed his way because we heard his roar from a half mile away in the park and wondered what was going on. Especially since I have been to this zoo at least a dozen times and the lion has been sleeping EVERY TIME we have been there.
He was not happy.
Especially when he was having his picture taken.
On our way to visit the bears, I snapped this wonderful picture of my children all bundled up in the snow. I swear there is only hot chocolate in that mug.
Kind of like Myka above, the bear was not picture worthy on this trip. But on our trip in November with some friends (10 kids 5 and under, 3 moms and a grandpa) the bear was putting on quite a show. He kept coming up to the window and greeting anyone who was waiting there. I love how Myka's hand compares to Mr. Bear's paw in this picture.
Thank you Bonnie and the Brookfield Zoo! We'll see you next year!
