I know, I know, I haven't blogged in over a week. I'm sorry, it's been a little busy here and I was waiting for the camera fairy (Megan) to transfer pictures from my camera to my laptop.
So, to catch you up...
Saturday, May 9, 2009 we went to the Lincoln Park Zoo in Chicago. We took the long way in order to take the scenic drive on Sheridan Road. It was absolutely beautiful!
Lincoln Park Zoo was really nice. We got to ride the carousel and tour a farm in the zoo. The farm was my favorite part. They had a farm house, barn, animals, dairy building where you could watch them milk the cows, and my favorite part was the garden. On Saturdays the garden is open to visitors and they have Master Gardeners there to give you a tour and let you help out. Grace and Chloe got to plant Morning glories. We got a tour and a lot of good information about planting and tending a garden, organic pest control, composting, etc. They had the most beautiful compost bins I've ever seen! Only my mom can understand me calling a compost bin beautiful. It was chilly but we had a wonderful day. There is no admission fee to the zoo but we wound up spending a hundred dollars! It was ten dollars for me and the kids to ride the carousel. It was forty five dollars for a very unhealthy lunch. And it was thirty dollars for parking. And of course add bottled water to that. Wow! Next time we are packing our own water and snacks.
