Lions, And Tigers, And (no) Bears.... OH MY!

Yesterday's walk was brought to you by the Franklin Park Zoo.


Decided to have a change of scenery for my walk yesterday so Team Holm took off for the zoo for the day. Lots of walking and lots of animals and lots of fun!

King of the Jungle
I had 2 favorites. The first one was the lion. Eric and I agreed he looked old and sad, but he still looked majestic! I can only imagine what running in to him in the wild would be like.

My other favorite were the gorillas. I could have sat there all day with one of them. When we got to one of the glass look-throughs, he was there hanging out and decided to sit a while. I swear he was checking out Megan's sneakers when we got there. She had a good time telling him about her sneakers and we sat for quite a while with him - longer than any other animal at the zoo. We got to see 3 adults along with a little one who turned 1 a few weeks ago and her mom.

I hadn't been to the zoo in many years, so it was a nice thing to experience with the girls. They loved the animals and loved walking around and interacting with all of the different things. We had a visit from some peacocks during lunch - I don't think the girls liked that so much! But Megan shared a fry with one of them and she warmed up a little bit to them.

If I could have a walk like this, I'd walk every single day! So much fun! Hopefully we can get back there again before our membership expires at the end of February.

Who are these animals??


Even kings need naps.

My little superstar!
