We spent Saturday down in Lincoln Park. My friend, Brittany Buck Brady and her cute little family moved to Lincoln Park for the summer while her husband does an internship. We went with them to the Lincoln Park Zoo and then to lunch afterward. Before the zoo we took Daci through the Lincoln Park Conservatory. If you have seen the movie "The Dilemma" with Vince Vaughn and Kevin James, the scene where Vince Vaughn catches Winona Ryder and Channing Tatum was filmed in the Conservatory. It was beautiful!
Next, we met up with Brit, her husband James and two little boys Mason and Caleb.
We had so much fun with the Brady's! I'm sad Brit and I didn't get any pictures together :( I'm pretty sure we were way too busy making sure our crazy children didn't terrorize the restaurant and its patrons :)
My friend Stacey Holland Sargeant also lives in Lincoln Park and we met up with her for lunch as well. It was so great to see her!

| There was a Koi Pond in there. These fish were huge! The sign said they can live to be 226 years old! What!? |
 |
| They had an area where they painted trees and rocks bright colors |

| Daci was so excited! She ran around the zoo and followed Mason around much more than she did any animal watching |
 |
| Mason and Daci had so much fun together! |

| Afterward we went to lunch. Daci and Mason were crazy! |

What a fun day. I'm so glad you were able to see Brittney and Stacy. Cute pics, too!
SO FUN! Next time you see Stacy tell her 'hi' for me.
So fun to get to hang out with friends in the city! Our family loves Lincoln Park. Chris really wants to live there :) Glad Daci enjoyed the zoo. She looks so cute and grown up!
I love how much fun Daci and Mason had together! We had a lot of fun with you guys!
