Chicago–Day 4

It was my intention to take a cab to Lincoln Park but Grant thought if we walked two miles yesterday then we could do the two miles there and the two miles back. That was the best decision because we could walk along the beach for a good part of the walk.  You can see in the kids face they could have stayed there all day.

We did finally make it to the zoo.  I loved that it was free and that you could walk in at several different points.

It was a gorgeous day outside and was so much fun walking around looking at animals.  The gorillas were a crowd pleaser.  The baby gorilla was adorable and I could have watched them for a lot longer.

I think these pictures are hilarious.

The kids found a place to climb and have fun.  Unfortunately, right after they started climbing a school group came in .  I don’t think I have been on the other side of a field trip.  It wasn’t fun. Smile

All the places to eat in the park were closed for the season so we decided to walk back and eat a big lunch/supper at the cheesecake factory.  I took a picture of our dessert because it was huge and delicious.

I think the four plus miles we walked that day worn most of us out!
