We had a great time at Brookfield Zoo on our trip. We had 15 people in all go including all the Duda cousins.I was a bit surprised that we managed to get all 3 teenage Duda boys to go to the zoo but not too shocked since they all enjoy spending time with their little Chapman cousins so much! The big boys enjoyed acting like zoo animals (ha!) while the littler kids enjoyed watching the animals (the real animals... not the big cousins).
Benjamin has a fascination with hippopotamuses lately so that was our first stop! Luckily the big hippo made a couple of appearances before submerging himself back under water.
We had a double stroller and a wagon with us and I think every child 12 and under took a turn riding in each of those at some time or another. We had some worn out lil ones and two wonderful uncles who also took turns giving shoulder rides to our lil guys.
We managed to cover a lot of area at the zoo and enjoyed watching lots of different animals. I think the top favorites of our group were the energetic gorillas and the playful polar bears. Although, if you ask Benjamin he would insist that his favorite part was seeing the hippos!
We left the zoo around 3 p.m. and headed back to Ron and Nancy's pool to cool off and refresh. It was really an enjoyable day and one we will treasure for a long time.
