Brookfield Zoo

Today (10/20/15) was such a beautiful day to visit the Brookfield Zoo.  The weather was perfect, behavior was excellent, and the animals were fun to see.  We weren't able to see all the animals, but I know we saw almost all of them.

Before our visit, we read a story in News-2-You about two snow leopard cubs at the zoo who were born in June.  We were fortunate enough to be able to see the two cubs (Mayla and Daania) and their mom (Sarani).

On our trip to the zoo last year, we were able to see the new baby gorilla.  This year, we were able to see that baby (more like a toddler) and a brand new baby gorilla who was born in September!  The kids were also very excited to see the large silverback gorilla, who they called Ivan.  Ivan is the silverback gorilla in a story we are reading called The One and Only Ivan.

Here are some highlights from our great day!

As you can see, a fun and exhausting day at the Brookfield Zoo!!
