Going to the Zoo

When you go to the zoo, don't forget to take pictures. I prefer to bring my zoom lense. It seems like the animals are always pretty far away from where everyone actually stands. We went at pretty much the worst time to go to the zoo. It was July. It was super hot. A lot of the larger animals were sleeping, but I say that you can make the most of anything. For me, there was no other time to go since I brought my 2-year-old son with me and we had a one hour drive before we got there. I think next time we go, we'll go during the Spring or Fall so that it's not quite as hot. We went to Brookfield Zoo near Chicago, IL. It's a great zoo! The only thing it was missing was an elephant or two. Just remember, have fun!

While I don't have any in this post, don't forget to take pictures with people in them when you go to the zoo. It might be tempting to just get the animals, but the reactions on people's faces can be priceless.
