What a blast we all had! We started the day at the Lincoln Park Zoo in Chicago! Can't even believe it's FREE to get in, it was so nice and right on the lake with great views of the city! We all loved seeing the animals! Maddie loved the BIG kitties.... Austin's favorite were the Polar Bears... Jack's favorite thing at the zoo was the Popcorn! Well, you can't win 'em all! :) The coolest was there was a spot you could look through to see the Lions up close and we were eye to eye with a lion, with only plexiglass between us! Amazing experience! The only negaitve is that the zoo closes at 5pm, which puts you right in bumper to bumper traffic heading home... so instead, we walked... almost 3 miles to the city! (For the record, it looked much closer) Jeff is still gimping around and declaring the things he does for his 'lovely wife!' :) It was a gorgeous walk! Lots of space for the kids to run in Lincoln Park and along the shore of Lake Michigan was gorgeous! We did a little shopping and had dinner along the Magnificent Mile, before I took a cab back to get our van and came to pick the zoo crew up in the city! It was one of the best days I think we have ever had as a family! I loved it! Hope you enjoy the pictures and video! LOVE!

LOVE LOVE LOVE the videos and the pictures! What a great family day in the city!
Lincoln Park is one of our most favorite places to hang out! So glad you had a great experience there as well. I don't think I would have braved the long walk with 3 kids, but more power to you!
