On Thursday, Molly, Xavier and Isabelle arrived for a weekend of fun in Chicago. (Lyle flew in Friday afternoon). Friday morning we hit up the Lincoln Park Zoo. The kids got a little lesson about the rules of the wild from the Brown Bear. We had searched for this bear for about a half hour. We finally find the cage, and the bear is nowhere to be seen. Xavier was very bummed. Well right before we were about to give up, the bear appeared right in front of the kids. Xavier was psyched. That is until the bear picked up a little birdie, put it on the ground, stomped on it, and then ate it right in front of 3 or 4 children. He then turned away and peed down his leg as he was leaving. Another parent summed up what we were all thinking when she said, "oh no he didn't". It reminded me of that scene from Napoleon Dynamite when the farmer shoots the cow as a bus full of school children drive by screaming. Too funny!
Here's Xavier taking a train ride.
There was a climbing area at the zoo recommended for kids ages 4 through 8. But Xavier, two and a half, tore that thing up.
Even little Izzy did a bit of climbing.
