kenny's zoological expedition

Sounds better than "Kenny's first trip to the zoo," don't it?

Overboard and I took the boy to the Lincoln Park Zoo on Sunday, the last free zoo in the country. While a number of the inmates, er, animals, were sleeping and not making themselves available for viewing, others were more than happy to entertain Mr. K. He especially liked the penguins, where two of the well-dressed flightless waterfowl swam up next to the glass he was happily smacking his hand on.

As for the lions, well, Kenny wasn't as impressed. The male was crashed out on top of his perch, and from Kenny's point of view, he sees Sadie like that everyday.


The King of the Urban Jungle does his best Sadie impression.


Kenny gives his approval of zoos located near the lakefront.
