Chris had the week off last week and because the weather was pretty nice, we headed to the zoo!
This was the third visit for us this year, and it was TONS of fun, as usual! Instead of seeing the usual animals (bears, big cats, dolphins), we checked out the more exotic animals. We saw lots of turtles and birds :) A lot of the animals were also really close to the fence, so I got some pretty good closeups.
During the summer, Brookfield Zoo also has a stingray exhibit, so we decided to go! Sadly, there was a summer camp group in there that was splashing and being rather obnoxious, so I ended up being the only one who got to touch a stingray. Poor Ethan - he was so excited about being able to meet Mr. Ray!
Here are the highlights:

| This gorilla was awesome - he was resting, then decided to look for a different spot to lounge, so he picked up his bedding and climbed up higher :) |
 |
| My little otters :) |
 |
| Buffalo on the run! They alternated between grazing peacefully and running like crazy! |
 |

 |

| Remember that scene in the first Harry Potter movie with the huge python? This is what this reminded me of! |
