Lincoln Park Zoo

On Saturday morning we loaded into the car and drove to Chicago to visit Stuart and Erin. They just moved into a new apartment that we wanted to see, it was a beautiful spring weekend, and it had been way too long since we'd spent time with S and E.

Nathan "helping" Daddy and Mommy pack for the trip.

We started off the afternoon with a delicious BBQ lunch at The Smoke Daddy. After stuffing ourselves with brisket, cornbread and mac & cheese, we headed over to the Lincoln Park Zoo. Stuart, Todd and Nathan went back in September while we were all in town for Erin's bachelorette party festivities. N slept through the entire experience though, so as far as he was concerned, this was his first trip to the zoo! He loved it--pointing and exclaiming over all the animals, watching all of the other kids, trying to escape from whichever adult was trying to hold his hand or attempting to get him to stay in the stroller!
