Phillips Park Zoo

Wednesday we went to the Phillips Park Zoo in Aurora for the first time. Hannah, Josh, Ryan, and I met Shannon Madden there with Henry, Ella, and Caroline. It was kind of confusing to get to, but we eventually all made it there! It's a very small free zoo, but it was nice. It had alligators, cayman, a cougar, river otters, wolves, fox, peacocks, and turkeys. There was also a really pretty sunken garden with a fountain in the center. I think the kids all really liked it. Josh and Ryan were just happy to walk around with the big kids when I got them out of their stroller. They liked holding hands too. All the kids liked to see the cougar, and I would guess the reptile house was a favorite too. It had a Burmese Python, and housed the alligators and cayman and turtles. We had a picnic lunch too, then went home for afternoon naps.

Hannah's First Dance Class

Hannah had her first dance class today at the Park District. It's called Tutu Toddlers and she gets to be a dancing little princess for a half hour a week! There are five other girls in her class and her teacher's name is Miss Katie. She had such a good time and is looking forward to going next Tuesday already.
