New Year's Eve

We went to the "Happy Zoo Year" party at Brookfield Zoo tonight that was part of the winter Holiday Magic festival. Nolan had a lot of fun riding on the dolphin on the carousel.

He rode on a Santa Express train.

We saw a show with the Little People.

We spent a lot of time in the family play zoo. Nolan cleaned some cages.

He checked out some guinea pigs and bunnies.

He sprayed lots of plants in the greenhouse.

Dr. Nolan helped lots of sick animals in the vet clinic.

He pretended to be the Zoo Director.

We went back to the vet clinic...playing doctor was Nolan's favorite part!

We marched in a parade and had fun with the countdown!

We went on the carousel one more time...the dolphin again of course!

Nolan was waving to everyone!

I asked a nice woman to take a picture of us, and Nolan said he was too shy.

Happy New Year!

Nolan crashed as soon as we started moving.

I took our outside decorations down this morning. It is unseasonably warm here in Chicago, and it was the most beautiful night to be walking around at the zoo. It rained all day but not during our time at the zoo which was perfect! We had a great time together at Holiday Magic!
