I love the zoo

Honestly it is my favorite place to go as a family. We had the most beautiful weather on Saturday and tried to soak up as much of the sun as we could. However, the traffic was terrible and it took us over an hour to get there!! But, it turned out great and I will remember playing in the grass with my kids that day forever.

The coolest thing happened while we were searching out the elephants. As Supergirl was calling to them, and Superboy was doing his best elephant imitation (basically spitting with his hand at his mouth like a trunk) we hear the monkeys going crazy! We wheel on over and there are two Asiamangs in a tree right by the pathway. Note: we have NEVER seen the asiamangs when we go to the zoo, they are always hiding, or not even there. So, the fact that they were even visible was pretty cool. But these two monkeys were calling, and screaming and hooting so loud back and forth to each other. One would start to swing on a branch and make a call that sounded so much like a Tarzan yell that it was funny. We stood there for a long time just watching them goof off. Everytime they would yell Supergirl would turn to me and say, "Silly monkeys" and Superboy just sat in his seat mimicking them "Hoo Oooh!". It was a great day.

Those are adorable pictures! You don't even look pregnant at all. Glad you had such a good time. Your kids are so photogenic!

Ah yes- Saturday, the perfect day before it got all gross again. Your pictures of the day are wonderful- I don't think your two kiddos could be any sweeter. We need to coordinate these things- we were there on Thursday.
