McDonald's Family Day at the Zoo

Anita invited us to go to Brookfield Zoo last night as part of McDonald's family evening.
We had a wonderful time.

I try not to post unflattering pictures of myself (since it is my blog) but I couldn't resist this one because of Jack in the background.

Rick asked Alex to make a sad face...




Dinosaurs Alive! was open so we went. None of us had been through the exhibit yet so we enjoyed it a lot. Rick told Alex that all the dinosaurs were fake except for one. Of course he believed Rick so he was pretty scared at the beginning. His reactions were priceless.



Alex and me with the Stegosaurus.


Excited about something...


Jack and Jackie!



Alex asked the women working "What would happen if Auntie Katie touched the dinosaurs fingernails?" Of course she didn't know who Auntie Katie was, but she touched the finger nails of the T-Rex and Alex thought it was so cool!


Me with the triceratops!


After dinosaurs and eating we made our way to the pavilion where there was the band "Maggie Speaks". They were pretty good and Alex danced for quite a while.


Pretending to play the keyboard on the front of the stage.


The lead singer gave Alex a high-five!

My favorite picture of Alex dancing.



Jackie and I thought this was humorous.


Alex, Rick, and Jaden
