Our first adventure while teamed up with John and Krista was the Brookfield Zoo (not to be confused with the Lincoln Park Zoo--Brookfield far outdoes it). It's such a pretty place with tons of open spaces and beautiful landscaping for the visitors and animals to enjoy. My kids really enjoyed themselves there. Tiny Livvies decided she was obsessed with animals and loved pointing to the giraffes, tapirs, bears, buffalo, tigers and especially the monkeys. The monkey habitat is amazing there (and huge) and Livs was in heaven.
Did I mention we visited on a free day? I love how big cities do cool things like that and wonder when anything around here is ever free...
Also, thank goodness Krista has a great camera with sweet lenses and the eye for capturing so many lovely shots. Any good pictures from the rest of our trip are courtesy of her Nikon...
We sat near this tree while eating lunch and I just had to have a picture with it.
Livs thoroughly enjoying the monkeys
Baby Anders all snuggled up (he was such a quiet and cuddly little adventurer)
The zoo had some fun Halloween decor around. The tombstones were quite silly and the puns on them reminded me so much of my mom and Bob--both would get a great kick out of them :)

Love the sissies matching dresses. Looks like a fun outing!
Isn't cousin time the best? I am sure John and Krista loved seeing you as well but it is fun for those little kiddos to have these memories together.
