A day at Brookfield Zoo

penguin chick picture HI EVERYBODY!!

A while ago, Phil and Angie and Angie's sister Amy went to something called a zoo, where they keep all kinds of animals for people to see. Of course the most popular place was the Penguin House. Maybe Mom and I can move up there sometime!!

See you later!


Amidst the quiet surrounding of southwest Chicago is Brookfield Zoo.	I thought their humps were smoother?	Inside the Australian outback rainforest exhibit, bats fly freely about...


		A relative of the koala bear...we think.


A baby Grevy's Zebra.	Lots of giraffes.	A relative of the zebra, called an okapi.


Freakin' dry cleaners...took out the stripes AGAIN!	There were two places we HAD to go to ..naturally the Penguins at The Living Coast was first on the list.	OK...lets see how many people I can get wet and STILL look cute.


	Come on guys, family photo time.	Kinda like living on a movie set.


Taking a break with Angie's sister Amy	We discovered this peacock just kind of hanging out with a couple of his buds.	Two Ibexs atop Ibex Island mountain...a fitting place for them.


This is Christy, a fiesty elephant with big balls!		She really got into playing with her balls. Shortly after this picture as taken, she threw them into the gully surrounding their habitat.


The tigers were the second thing we HAD to visit.


These two were playing keep away with a large black plastic tub..which looked like a really big derby hat.	An example of a wild cat...	and one not so wild. (I hate it when dinners late!)
