A Day at the Zoo

Last week we took Cal to the Lincoln Park Zoo for the very first time. I must admit, we were a little afraid that Cal was too young to really enjoy all that the zoo had to offer (thus crushing our ridiculously high expectations for our family's first trip to the zoo). We figured the animals would be too far away to draw his attention and he would quickly lose interest in the whole zoo gig. Wrong-o. Turns out, he loved it! Sweet guy took it all in and stared in wonder at all of the animals throughout the afternoon. Quite the people watcher, he enjoyed flirting with other young zoo goers in between exhibits and even walked away with his new favorite toy (a creepy plastic lion that "chomps" on his fingers while he squeals with glee). All in all, a very positive first zoo experience for the whole crew!

Here's a few photos of our day...
