We love zoo.

Gangee and Pop-Pop came for a visit, and we took advantage of the nice weather and headed to the Lincoln Park Zoo. Here's Pop-Pop and Jonah taking a look at our "ancestors". (My dad did make that joke to Jonah; I wonder what people in earshot might have thought of that?) I think that Jonah was a little bit intimidated by the size of this guy, despite the fact that Pop-Pop stands well over six feet tall. It must be all the hair. Oh, and the fact that this gorilla weighs 500 pounds. You know.
Manny was a very good little boy, amusing himself for minutes at a time by sitting up in his stroller and looking around, as well by playing with a little zipper pull that dangles from the stroller. Hard work, people.
Manny and Gangee share a moment.
Gangee and Pop-Pop treated Jonah to a ride on the carousel, which he LOVES. We have a photo of a carousel at home, and Jonah stares at it and says, "Carousel. Round and round and round and round." Apparently, he was also captivated by the lights above his head on this ride. There were almost tears when he had to get off. Jonah knows how to have a good time.
This is the result when some crazy parent decides that she wants a picture with her two boys at the end of a long day and insists on holding them herself. It could be worse, I guess.
