We met Charlie&#8217;s pal Lindsay and her Mommy, Ms. Megan at the Lincoln Park Zoo for a little animal-watching. Good thing we got there early because at about noon you couldn&#8217;t hear yourself think there were so many screaming kids. Maneuvering the double BOB was a challenge in and of itself; add onto that trying to feed Ella a bottle while standing and waiting for a table at lunch (holding it up with my chin, mind you) and corralling a very cranky 2 year old.<\/p>\n<p>Charlie loved the penguins (of course) and the lions were out in full force. She was not a fan of the Merry-Go-Round, as you can see from the picture below. Ms. Megan was so sweet to hold her when she got scared.<\/p>\n<p>All in all, a fantastic way to spend the morning. Charlie&#8217;s outfit comes courtesy of Etsy&#8230;a gem from last summer that she can just now wear!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/_EzNMDgf7WQE\/S7ZNCqEFdSI\/AAAAAAAAFBQ\/GLCseL6801w\/s1600\/4-2-2010%2B009.JPG\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5455632706652435746\" style=\"DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 213px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/almostjuliet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/4-2-2010-009.jpg?w=628&#038;ssl=1\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/_EzNMDgf7WQE\/S7ZNCGTQxFI\/AAAAAAAAFBI\/pX5yxQ0_rYc\/s1600\/4-2-2010%2B011.JPG\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5455632697052415058\" style=\"DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px; TEXT-ALIGN: center\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/almostjuliet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/4-2-2010-011.jpg?w=628&#038;ssl=1\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/_EzNMDgf7WQE\/S7ZNBid_96I\/AAAAAAAAFBA\/16WtZNsEQOk\/s1600\/4-2-2010%2B018.JPG\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5455632687433775010\" style=\"DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 209px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/almostjuliet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/4-2-2010-018.jpg?w=628&#038;ssl=1\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/_EzNMDgf7WQE\/S7ZNBbEdBpI\/AAAAAAAAFA4\/GQe9lxXyoPc\/s1600\/4-2-2010%2B028.JPG\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5455632685447579282\" style=\"DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 179px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/almostjuliet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/4-2-2010-028.jpg?w=628&#038;ssl=1\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/_EzNMDgf7WQE\/S7ZNA0aqHAI\/AAAAAAAAFAw\/na9BUacaawY\/s1600\/4-2-2010%2B033.JPG\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5455632675071728642\" style=\"DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 179px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/almostjuliet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/4-2-2010-033.jpg?w=628&#038;ssl=1\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This morning was SO beautiful we hit the ground running.
