Busy Weekend!

May 1st was opening day at Blackberry Farm. We bought season passes this year, so we couldn't miss one day. We rode the train, carousel, played in corn box and got to see the floppy eared bunny, Lily. Ryan insited on carrying the map.

Choo choo!!

Instead of a sand box, they have a corn box. If you fill this hopper with corn, use it to load the dump trucks.

On Saturday night, Mom went to Katie's Bachelorette Party....a trolley ride to Rock Bottom for dinner and then onto downtown Naperville. Dad went to Dave's Bachelor Party. They had pizza, a poker tournament and some kinda "entertainment."

On Sunday, the new Wilderness Habitat (bears, polar bears, bald eagles) at Brookfield Zoo opened. We had double the fun, because we rode the train to the zoo and got to see the new habitat.

While we waited for our train back to Aurora, there was a big freight train that whizzed past us!

Note: When taking the Metra to Brookfield, don't get off at the Brookfield stop. Exit at the Holleywood/Zoo Stop. (who knew?!) When Ryan tells you about this trip, he'll tell you that we took a cab to the zoo. He's right - his first cab ride seems to have made an impression!
