On Sunday we traveled to Elgin to visit with Jeff's side of the family. Lily, as always, put on a show and dazzled everyone with all her new tricks. She had lots of fun making pirate faces at Uncle Moks and Papou and enjoyed snuggling on the couch with Grandma and Aunt Dana. It was a beautiful day and we all enjoyed the sun and playing outside too. Per usual, Lily did not want to miss any of the fun and stayed up way past her bedtime. Luckily, she did sleep pretty well and was very excited about her trip into the city to Lincoln Park Zoo.
Lily filling in as the "O" and making her "O" face.
Very excited about the puppies (camels)
Making her pirate face, which doubles as a tiger face when tigers are in the vicinity.
The first animals that really captured Lily's attention were the two-humped camels. She was amazed! Then she cheered for the polar bears as they swam around in their pool. Next she was in awe of the giraffe. She just stared at him as he ate from a tree. She also enjoyed the ape that was lounging right next to the observation window. I think she thought he was cute, and she shared with us that he had gone "nigh-night." It was a quick trip, but it was also a lot of fun and we look forward to many more in the future.
