Both boys loved seeing the penguins!
Adam said the monkeys were his favorite.
I like the way this photo of one of the bears turned out...it's almost like he's looking right at the camera, posing for me :)
I've been meaning to take the boys to the zoo for a long time now, so I'm glad we finally did.
Now on to Menu Plan Monday...

Balsamic Chicken with Mushrooms
Servings: 4
Ingredients:
2 tsp vegetable oil
3 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
2 tsp Dijon mustard
1 large garlic clove(s), crushed
1 pound uncooked boneless, skinless chicken breast, four 4-oz pieces
2 cup mushroom(s), small, halved (we use combo of mushrooms & pieces of bell pepper)
1/3 cup canned chicken broth
1/4 tsp dried thyme, crumbled
In a nonstick skillet, heat 1 teaspoon of oil. In a medium bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of vinegar, the mustard and garlic. Add chicken and turn to coat. Transfer chicken and marinade to skillet. Sauté chicken until cooked through, about 3 minutes on each side. Transfer chicken to a platter and keep warm. Heat remaining teaspoon of oil in skillet. Sauté mushrooms for 1 minute. Add broth, thyme and remaining tablespoon of vinegar. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are deep brown, about 2 minutes longer. Serve chicken topped with mushrooms.

Looks like the zoo was a blast!
The zoo looks like fun. Funny how the kids just love those penguins, isn't it?
Have you made that recipe before? If so, I'll add it to our rotation to make. YUM.
Zach loves monkeys and penguins! They are his all time favorite animals. I should take the kids to the zoo while it is still nice out.
I am joining you with Menu Plan Monday!
