This past weekend we loaded up the car for Grady's first trip outside Wisconsin. Our friends Aline and Adam got married in Chicago at the Brookfield Zoo. Hillary's friend Debbie from college and her husband Keith and their daughter Laurel let us stay with them. They have a beautiful home in the Bucktown area of Chicago.
Hillary, Grady, Laurel, Debbie and Keith hanging out before the wedding.
Laurel rocking Grady before we left for the wedding. She was very helpful having his bottle ready for him at all times. We are looking forward to our next visit. Thanks so much for lunch and breakfast and for sharing your home with us.
Grady gets his first look at Dinosaurs at the Brookfield Zoo. Dad and Mom were both very impressed and recommend this to kids and adults of all ages.
The Dinosaur Display had a Jurassic Park feel to it.
Many of the dinos moved and made noises. Grady seemed to enjoy it.
He watched each dino and even started making dino noises.
This display was very cool, you could push buttons and make the dino do different movements and sounds.
The wedding ceremony was held in the Dolphin viewing area. Before the ceremony we were able to watch as they swam and played.
Grady followed them as they swam all around.
At one point this Dolphin even stopped to look at Grady. He seemed pretty impressed. But then again Mom and Dad were probably more impressed.
Joining us at the wedding were Luanne, Duncan and Robb Vogel. Robb works with me at NBC 15. Aline use to work with us before moving on to Chicago.
Duncan enjoyed the Dolphins while eating Gold Fish crackers. I suppose that is better than Mahi Mahi.
The ceremony was very nice and it was definately neat to see the Dolphins swimming in the background.
After the ceremony drinks and hors d' oeuvres were served at Tropic World.
There were Gorillas and Monkeys and even a Pygmy Hippo.
Adam and Aline Cox arrive at the reception.
Grady and Mom get ready for dinner. Notice the party favors at each seat. Hillary was a huge fan of these plastic molds when she was a kid.
Adam and Aline were so kind to stop at our table before dinner. They knew with the kids we wouldn't be able to stay long.
Adam and Aline cutting their beautiful wedding cake.
Me and Grady it was sleepy time.
Duncan and Robb. I think the boys fell asleep at about the same time.
Grady dreams of dinosaurs and dolphins.
Thank you and congrats to Adam and Aline. Best wishes to the both of you.
We will make sure Grady learns about all the animals he saw today and when he gets older we will come visit you and zoo again.
