Brookfield Zoo

 One of the best things about summer is taking spontaneous trips to wherever we want to go. Yesterday, we went to Brookfield Zoo and stayed in Hamill Family Play Zoo the whole time.

Gavin took care of "his animals" in the vet clinic:

He got to pet a game hen...

...and a corn snake

We checked out the ravens. The male raven came over and stood here like he was guarding the entrance to his home. He looked very grumpy!

 When Gavin leaned in close, the raven jabbed his beak at the glass like he was telling us to stay away! Geez. Finally, he ignored us in favor of a meal. 

We listened to part of the Zoo Chat about lemurs, and he (and several other kids) wore a "lemur vest."

Of course, Gavin never gets enough time there! So we will be back a lot this summer!
