This weekend I went to the Brookfield Zoo just outside of Chicago for a fun day in the snow. I've been to this zoo before and I really like it. It's enormous and takes hours to get around it and see all the animals they care for. It snowed most of the day so very few people were there. It made for a nice, chill, quiet day at the zoo. I saw a newborn Orangutan, just 4 months old or so. I love the African animals so it was great to see Rhino's, Elephants, Giraffe, etc.

Like most weekends, I went to church. We looked at the story of Noah, specifically the flood and God's promise to Man to never flood the earth again. I'm Glad God decided to save the animals through the ark. Animals, for whatever reason, are just fascinating to me. I love their diversity, personality, humor and design. The wombats looked like mini footballs that I just wanted to tackle (playfully, not abusively). I could watch the seals swim for hours. Otters always make me laugh. Rhinos scare me to death but they're hard not to stare at.

Here's some pictures from the day.
