Zoo Love

Saturday morning, we (meaning my mom, my sister and brother, Kara, and I) all went to the zoo. I love the zoo. Love, love, love it. I usually go 10 or so times in the summer. I don't know why I love it so much because the animals rarely ever change, but I just love it! It is probably just the fun of being outside, killing time, and looking a cute furry creatures.

Anyway, Kara is often my little brother's shadow, and this trip was no different. She wandered around and rode on his shoulders almost the entire time. She adores him, and he is a pretty awesome uncle in return.

The best part was this monkey we saw in Tropical Discovery. He was right up on the enclosure fence interacting and watching me and another woman (who looked like she was a professional photographer). He was calm as can be, just watching us. Probably thinking "these people are idiots. I do this all the time. Go ahead, take my picture." But, it might have just been that he liked us, because he got down and left when we walked away. It was really cool.


Kara also loved the exhibits in Tropical Discovery. Here she is talking to an iguana in a sing-song voice saying "Hi. Come here."

I bought us a family pass so we can visit all year long. Well, Jon bought it since he brings home the bacon, I just happened to hand over the money. I am so excited to go back and take Jon because we didn't even get to all the animals!
