I just love this picture of Preston. He just thought these little guys were so neat.
Here is Chase by the Spider Monkey's. He didn't looked really impressed, but I know in the inside he was super excited.
They have a small petting zoo where you could buy food for the animals. Preston made friends really fast with all of them.
While we were walking down the path there was a peacock that came out to see us. I was surprised that he came as close as he did.
Preston roared at the tigers. He wasn't as impressed at the zoo as he was at home when I was posting this picture on here. He was really excited and wanted to see all the animals. I guess sometimes pictures are cooler than the real deal!
Chase wasn't really wanting us to take his picture, but here was an attempt of us trying to get one anyways. We really had a wonderful time at the zoo. Having Aunt Ti Ti with us made the day even better!
Later that night we decided to go out to WIU for some good Old Fashion 4th of July fun. Preston really liked the fireworks this year. Chase hid in Matt's arms and would peak every so often so he didn't miss out of the fun. 
Preston and Chase both got monkey stuffed animals from the zoo and Preston carried his every where. He named it OW OW AH AH. (a.k.a for monkey)
After the fireworks were over we went home where I had some snap pop things for Preston to throw. He thought that was really cool to hear them pop. We ended up having an adventurous 4th of July and hope that next year we can enjoy fireworks either in Chicago or Galesburg. I am really missing fireworks synced to music. I love good patriotic music. Neil Diamond has it going on!

Looks like you had a good time at the zoo. We haven't been to that one yet but plan to this summer. If you are looking for a very nice zoo there's a good one in the Coal Valley (near Quad Cities) called Niabi Zoo. It is a really nice one but not so big that little ones can't do the whole thing. And I thin Neil Diamond has it going on too!
