Alex the Lion?

We went to the Lincoln Park Zoo today.  
It is a beautiful day in Chicago--sunny, clear, 80 degrees.  
Wonderful.  

Packed a picnic lunch.


Bought some stuffed animals (cause Mom's a sucker).


Gazed at the beautiful blue water and thought about how we could finagle a run down there this weekend.


Marveled at the pink flamingos with the high rise condos in the background. Made us a little bit wistful for the San Antonio zoo.


Thought a little about Alex the Lion, Marty the Zebra and Gloria the Hippo.


And just plain felt excited to be downtown.
Mom: when are we going to the American Girl store?  
When can we go up in the Sears Tower?  When can we go swimming?
