Cosley Zoo Visit

The girls at Cosley Zoo.

Lincoln Park Zoo

We took Diana and the girls to Lincoln Park Zoo

So we could Monkey around.

And see the Gorillas

We watched the Gorillas while covering our ears because a big Gorilla pounded on the glass.  It was loud.

St Patrick's Day in the City

Ellie loved the GREEN river































And was fascinated by all the people and their outfits.

She had a pretty good view on her dad's shoulders


and even got to make a craft.
