At the ZOO...

My very FAVORITE animals were:

These MONKEYS,

This smart LION...

That happens to know the sign for "L",

These GIANT PANDAS,

This drew-BUG,

And this laughing HYENA.

My friend Brooklyn learned that when you feed the animals...

Especially things like Cheetos...

They claim you as their new (and improved) owner!

The animals tried to escape once or twice,

But, don't worry, they were easily lured back by the sweet aroma of Kettle Corn.
P.S. The Zoo on a holiday (especially an overcast, perfect weather holiday) sounds like a GREAT idea. The only problem... every other Mom in the valley had the same great idea. It WAS really fun, but it was, well, a ZOO. I've never seen it as crowded as it was today! Miraculously, all 5 kids were fabulous and had a blast!
