Milk Without Cookies

It has been a strange winter in Chicago, bringing, most recently, a vicious cold front, at a time when we most desire the sun to show his face.

But today it is close to 60 degrees, even though it is quite cloudy. This allowed my son & I to meet our friends at Cosley Zoo, where we saw various animals, including chickens, ducks, and doves, goats, bunnies, sheep, coyotes and even a couple of llamas.

The stroller-moms were definitely out today, and the place was pretty packed, even though we arrived right when it opened. So this must mean that spring is finally here, and we will finally be able to get our rambunctious boy out of the house more often, so that he feels a little less like a caged animal himself.
