Visit to the Burbs- Part 2






During our stay, we visited the Brookfield Zoo, which was something we did at least once or twice a summer as a kid. We went last year, too, and have never made it through everything in the zoo in a day. We tried to see the exhibits and animals that aren't available at our zoo. This year, they had a special dinosaur exhibit. The dinosaurs moved and roared, which freaked Xavier out at first, but he loved it.

We have also made it a yearly event to visit the benches in Tinley Park that are decorated with a theme every year. One year it was games, and this year it was Classic TV shows. They had a Spiderman and a Batman bench, which thrilled Xavier. Aubrey fell asleep halfway through the walk, so she wasn't as impressed.

Totally freaky. We have matching posts. See that you are heading North...I'm thinking Rob should investigate a post-Swiss landing in Boiler Country:)
