Lions, and Tigers, and Bears- Oh my!

 A couple weeks ago some friends and I went to the Phoenix Zoo. I LOVE zoos  and I try to visit one in whatever city I am visiting at the time. I had never been to the one in Phoenix before so we made a "day trip" of it.  Since it get's so freaking hot here the zoo closes at 2. Well we grossly underestimated how a) hot it would get , b) how soon it would get hot and  c) how quickly we would get through the park.. Although we all left our houses at 8 am by 10:30 I was to the point of dehydration!  (not really mbut it sounds better) . I hadn't seen my BFF Dane in a couple weeks so he came and met up with us. Later we all finished the day by going to see Madagascar 3 in the dollar theater! I love theme-filled days!

Lincoln Park Zoo

I love going to a zoo so of course we hit that up. There are two zoos in Chicago. We hit the Lincoln Park Zoo because it was free but honestly I'm not sure why anyone would ever go to the zoo where you have to pay. Lincoln Park was amazing! I'm not saying that because I love Chicago. The layout of the zoo was gorgeous! Every attraction had a house. For example, there was the lion house, and the primate house, the  africa house so you could see the animals really close. There were beautiful spots to eat and have picnics, a huge  pool of water.  San Diego zoo is the only zoo that I've been to that is better. Ahhhhh I am so torn between San Diego and Chicago I don't know what to do. Anyway... check it out!

They were kissing!

Otters are my favorite zoo attraction.

Polar Bears are my second favorite!
