2010: Catching Up

Hello All! Sorry I've been away so long. Mom's fine incidentally. You can barely see the scar on her neck it's amazing. However, we have been experiencing some technical difficulties which have really yet to be resolved.


One adventure that we took was to the Peggy Norbert Nature Museum. We went in early spring before any plants were really blooming. Personally, I wasn't all that impressed, remember I am only 4 you know. I will say however that the Butterfly Exhibit that they have there is awesome. Even better than the seasonal one at Brookfield Zoo. Considering that Brookfield Zoo is one of my favorite places, that's saying quite a bit.

Here is our Easter celebration. We saw a picture of these Bunny Cupcakes in the paper and just had to try them out. It was awesome!

Dinosaurs at Brookfield Zoo

I just had to write about the New Dinosaur exhibit at Brookfield Zoo. Now mind you, it's a little bit scary. I had to hold Mom through the whole exhibit to protect her you know. However, this is one seriously cool adventure everyone should have this summer. This time limited showing of the Dinosaurs does cost extra. It is not included in the general admission price, but getting an opportunity to make these recycled creatures move and groove is really worth the few extra singles. We have a membership at the zoo and get discounted admission, if you're a Chicago Local, Mom and I really feel this is the way to go.

Bottom line, Brookfield Dinos get a Tynan 5 star rating!

Breakfast with the Bunnies and Uncle Jim's Vacation to Chicago

Mom and I are so busy we're still playing a bit of catch up on the blog.

First up, I'd like to show you how we spent the "Calendar" Easter at Brookfield Zoo. So much fun! The Banjo Bunnies played the music and I got to do some serious dancing with mom. She says I have fancy foot work!




Next on my list, at the end of April the Great Gardener himself, my Uncle Jim came to Chicago to help me plant my first Garden. Don't worry Uncle Jim, I'll do the watering and I won't let Mom kill the plants.

Then of course we HAD to take Uncle Jim to Brookfield Zoo!

Then on May 1, Mom marched in the St. Jude's Memorial March. It's a parade to honor Chicago's Police Officers who gave their lives in the performance of their duty.

Finally, this is one of my favorite pictures of my Au Pair, Gift and I that was taken as we were waiting for the Parade's step off. It was an early day, we were here at the Museum Campus at 7:00 in the morning!

A Day at Brookfield Zoo

Mom, Nuch and I have a membership to Brookfield Zoo, and it has more than paid for itself. There is always something new to see here and the zoo is great about bringing in special programing. Today, Cookie the Coctatoo, one of Brookfield's original animal's turned 75! Whoa! And they had a little party for him. Without a membership, Brookfield can be a bit pricey as some exhibits like the Dolphin show, Children's Play Zoo, and the Butterfly exhibit all cost a few dollars extra (even for members). Therefore, the price factor knocks down my rating to four stars.
