Zoo Walk











Hi Everyone,
Ken and I went to Chicago this past week end (June 6 & 7) to see Brian and Sarah. Brian had called a couple weeks ago and wanted us to sign up for the zoo walk. He lives near the Lincoln Park Zoo and a big plus is that it is a free zoo, but also a very nice zoo. This was a big fundraiser for the zoo. On Sun morning we went for a 3 mile/5k walk, there was also a 10 k run and a 5k run. It rained a little, but wasn't bad at all, we weren't even wet at the end of the walk. Attached are pictures of Brian and Sarah, and Ken and I at the start of the walk. We didn't spend alot of time at the zoo, but walked thru part of it. Brian and Sarah moved the end of April, so now they live even closer to the zoo, so it will probably be something we do whenever we visit.
Just a block the other direction is the Oz Park. And on Saturday there was a chalk festival at the Oz Park. Some of the chalk drawings were awesome.......it's to bad it rained later on Sat, so alot of them got washed away. That was a big fundraiser for Art Therapy Connection.
