Memorial Day Weekend Zoo Trip

I will begin this post by saying that Memorial Day Weekend is probably not the best weekend for going to the Brookfield Zoo unless you are hoping to be there with the rest of Illinois. I have never seen the zoo so crowded!! We actually couldn't even park there, we had to park at a forest preserve nearby.

After that initial craziness though, we enjoyed the nice weather, walking around and the animals. Mia is on a bird-kick and her favorite things to see this time included the chickens, seagulls, and ducks. Very exciting for the zoo, huh??? Either way, she had a good time and we will be back frequently this summer thanks to the membership Cort got for his birthday from my mom and Jen-thanks guys!

Here's one of Cort and Mia checking out the elephants-we did see animals other than birds!
