We finally made it to the Brookfield Zoo before the summer ended. This time around we decided to become a member and hopefully make it back at least once a month. I am really excited to finally attend their special exhibit in the winter time called Zoo Lights!

But back to our visit, we had a great time. Jack really enjoyed the animals, especially the monkeys (Brookfield Zoo has an amazing Monkey exhibit). Big brother Andrew helped him a lot by picking him up and getting a closer view. The day ended up being really nice and warm. We were definitely ready to head home once we finished up!



Jack of course wanted to get closer!


But this may be too up close and personal with a bat!


Loved getting close to the elephant standing by



Jack loved watching the monkeys - they were really active when we saw them.



Say cheese!





Roaming free like the animals!

A visit with family

A few weeks ago my cousin came into town with her 2 daughters from Texas. It was great seeing them and spending time. Unfortunately the weather didn't cooperate - it rained all day. But the kids still had a great time playing inside.

Abby, Andrew and Emma


So pretty :)

Love my attempt trying to get them to all smile at the same time - kids!


This would have been adorable if Jack was looking at me too! But still is!


Can't wait to see you guys again! It was too short.
