Chicago's Lincoln Park Zoo & Shedd Aquarium

We visited the Lincoln Park Zoo, as we did last year. It's a nice zoo that is free, which is ever better! We didn't spend a long time there as it was very hot, but we enjoyed it. Maggie's highlights were probably the sea lions (we enjoyed the air conditioning as well) and the monkeys.

The zoo had a great exhibit of monkeys that Maggie enjoyed.

Though I only post pictures of family here, this picture is actually for Uncle Steve. Columbus zoo doesn't have zebras, but we found them in Chicago!

One of the challenges of the weekend was naps. The freedom of a king size bed and the schedule were our opponents. After refusing to nap, Maggie was left looking like this for our supper one evening. But on the upside for her, she got to go swimming in the hotel pool rather than take a nap.

At Shedd aquarium, we got to watch a 4-D film on penguins. Maggie enjoyed wearing the glasses before the show, but was done once it started. Maggie's favorite thing about the aquarium was the "whales jumping."
