Chicago Day 3 - Brookfield Zoo and All Aboard Diner


We hit Brookfield Zoo on Day 3!
















The kids had fun exploring a new zoo and even seeing animals that we don't have at our Indianapolis Zoo.




























There was a special exhibit called Dinosaurs ALIVE. Cade really got into that one! There were animated Dinos that were "life sized". So we found out what it would be like to live in Dinosaur times!


















The boys had fun in the Family Area playing Veterinarian.














Quinn's favorite animals were the more common "turtle" and "dog" . . . of course! We pay a small fortune to get into this zoo, and he'd be happy in his backyard!
















The highlight of Cade's day was seeing this cute polar bear poop right in front of us. He is still laughing about it!















After wearing them out at the zoo, we headed to All Aboard Diner in Downer's Grove. This was a HUGE hit with these two "train-lovin' boys"! Thomas was playing on a big screen a train was constantly going around the restaurant, and our food was delivered via Choo-Choo! If you are ever in the area, we HIGHLY recommend this restaurant. The food was great and the entertainment for the boys was priceless. Not to mention they got to pull the train whistle on their way out!
