Father's Day, Part 1

On Saturday we went to Brookfield Zoo with Nana & Grandpa Cermak to celebrate Father's Day. This was the twins' first trip to Brookfield - the first of many, as we are now members! It was so exciting and different for the kids that they were worn out after about 90 minutes, but overall they did well. Gavin had a minor tantrum but that was our fault because we lost track of time and he was hungry.

The twins started out with hats, but it was just too hot to keep them on:

We saw a polar bear, a tiger, an elephant, and a lot of farm animals in the Children's Zoo.

The kids loved the Children's Zoo!

We went inside the Safari Grill to cool off and get some chicken nuggets for Gavin:

Evie needed a meal as well:

Gavin ate his applesauce, but was not too keen on the nuggets. They were rather plain (at home we have seasoned nuggets)!

Gavin walked a lot. We knew he was getting tired, but he stayed steady on his feet.

Our last stop was the gift shop. They had this big stuffed moose out in front that Gavin loved! He kept hugging it, then walking into the store and looking at some stuffed penguins, then going out to hug the moose again (of course, Nana and Grandpa bought Gavin one of the penguins):



Sound asleep on the ride home!

There is a new dinosaur exhibit that we didn't get to see on Saturday, but here is one of the dinosaurs that is right in the middle of the zoo:
