Trip to Brookfield Zoo!

Over Labor Day weekend we went to the Brookfield Zoo!  I got free tickets from work and it was the last weekend we could use them.  It was a lovely day for the zoo! Maddie was just getting over being sick (very high fever) so did not sleep too long the night before so she was pretty grumpy the whole time we were there.  We'll visit again on a day she's in better spirits.

Despite the grumpiness, we got to see a lot of the zoo!  We paid a little extra for a special exhibit that had some hands on experiences. We got to pet and brush baby goats! We also got to feed some beautiful parakeets! We saw so many different animals - lions, boats, wallabys, birds, monkeys, a polar bear, a brown bear, giraffes, and zebras!

Tons of pictures below.

Also thanks to Grandma Kathy for the adorable outfit she made for Maddie!

There is a sleeping lion in the upper right.

One of the few playgrounds they have there. So much fun!
