Today's trip, while enjoyable, was a bit more than anticipated. As the end of the school year approaches every school in the Chicagoland area must be squeezing in some last minute fieldtrips. Though not there long, there were no less than 20 or so schools walking around. This makes the zoo very crowded and loud, but the biggest problem is just the lack of supervision of a lot of these kids. They would scramble in front of Brooke to see an animal, walk into us on the walkways and yell and holler (sometimes with obscenities). Instead of a relaxing time at the zoo it was a bit hectic and chaotic ... but Brooke didnt seem to notice.
We met Gina, Paige and Evan there. All Brooke was worried about was Paige. She wanted Paige to hold her hand at all times. She wanted to sit next to her while eating lunch. She didnt let her out of her sight. In addition to keeping her eye on Paige, she managed to see a few animals too :) Overall I'd say she was pretty happy with our trip!
Due to the crowds and confusion I wasnt much for picture snapping and didnt get a single pic of Brooke. I did get a picture of a momma duck and her ducklings cruising along in a new pond being built.
