The little, charming, local zoo we visited in Illinois

I do have a few pictures from our zoo visit which we all enjoyed while hanging out together in Illinois.  It's small, but it is one of those perfect kind of smalls.  They had just enough fun animals to keep the kids excited, but it wasn't so huge that the adults were exhausted at the end of the visit.

 


We were all excited to get to watch the otters have some lunch!   We also found the old, giant turtles pretty cool.  Isaac loved the Mr. Kangaroo, (that might be Mr. Wallaby in the picture), and the kids all enjoyed watching the pennies go around and down the....penny bowl.  I'm not sure what those things are called - free standing, un-manned, fundraiser, maybe.  :-)  Fun memories for sure!
