Zoo Time! (Again)

After spending most of the nicest November day of all time in beautiful Swansea, Illinois, I was ready to get out with the family and enjoy the weather. We managed to get to the zoo for an hour and have some fun. First, we went to the Children's Zoo, where Winnie relunctantly petted a goat, but then was so (so so) excited to pet the Gunea Pigs. I was having focus issues with my autozoom, but this picture is cute anyway. Some girls a few years older came over, and you could tell that Winnie was loving the idea of hanging with them around the gunea pig area. Next, we went through the penguin area where Winnie had a great time counting the penguins. She can only count to two, so it took quite a while to get them all. Winnie also showcased the future, when she wanted to be anywhere but in a photo with her dorky Dad.

Rush was a very happy boy, and was all smiles.

It's good to have such a wonderful zoo in town, and we hope to go more and more every year!
