Took a trip to Chicago this weekend to see Kate, watch the Chicago Marathon, and go to the Brookfield Zoo (my birthday present from Nate). Everything was a blast. This guy was my second favorite animal. The river otter did not photograph well as he was having too much fun swimming to pose for pictures. Nate pretending to be a polar bear. Very scary. We really wanted these stuffed animals but Nate said no. With our Dad at the finish of the marathon
