Love from the center of who you are; don't fake it. Run for dear life from evil; hold on for dear life to good. Be good friends who love deeply; practice playing second fiddle.

Summer Road Trip - Part 1

24 commentsChicago is only a three hour drive away. Becuz of all the great attractions and museums, etc. there, we try to get to Chicago at least once a year. This year's road trip was only a two day-- kinda short and sweet--but a lot of fun. I know, shut up Scarlett, get on with the picture...Oh all right...My family reeeeeeeeally likes zoos so we default to zoo-ing of there's one in the area we are visiting.SIDE NOTE: Someone needs to settle a dispute for me. Recently, a friend told me, "Asian people don't like zoos." I think he's out of his tree, but didn't argue. I think he just doesn't like zoos, himself, and wants me to believe it's a cultural thing. Soooooo my Asian friends, what say you!?Anyhoo, this year, it was Brookfield Zoo, just outside of Chicago. And, very much like last years road trip and zoo visit, there seem to be an excess number of animals mooning me!
rhino moonemu moon... Quick story! There were young gals at the emu exhibit. They were suppose to tell us about the emus. My mother-in-law raises emu here in MI so we ended up telling them about the bird...including what hey taste like
hippo moonibex moonwarthog moonostrich moonokapi moonCanadian goose moon
annnnnnnnnnnnnd elephant moon!Fortunately, there were some other, less rude animals there too!
yay camels! Cept they were all hiding in the barn
I like alligators. Even when they're dead, they look happy
yes, it's OK for this bat to be crawling on the floor. How do I know? There was a sign that said "yes, it's OK for the bats to be crawling on the floor."
leave it to girl-child to find a zoo invader. Common North American Toad. Ironically, we spotted one of these on exhibit in the zoo later
Girl-child too the opportunity to show this little guy to a group of girls from a city community center, who were also visiting the zoo, before sending him on her merry toad way...giraffe... the guy in the foreground was a bark licker...Either that or he though that tree was an all-day suckerno idea. Girl-child insisted I take this picture, "becuz it's random!" She's random...Brookflield's carousel has the coooooolest animals!!!can't have zoo pics without lions
macaw kisses!some blue bird whose name escapes meha! I love the look on this bears face. CAPTION TIME!347 views Share
