Zoo Days

Mark and I have been avid zoo visitors as of late. We spent a day in Chicago and walked around the Lincoln Park Zoo. It must have been early in the season because not all of the animals were out yet. It was a good day, but a little disappointing because of the lack of creatures. But we did see some pink flamingos.




















Thankfully we had a second chance. We took a drive down south and visited with my cousins, the Indiana Mitchells. Andy, Amy, Anna and Cora were perfect hosts and showed us around the lovely city of Indianapolis and took us to the zoo.

First we went into the butterfly gardens and learned all about the caterpillar to butterfly lifecycle.



















Then we went into the main zoo and got to see all kinds of big furry animals--the polar bear was by far our favorite.

Young Anna and I bonded over the course of the day and we both agree that "we really love each other" and will be friends forever.
