Oh yes. It's time for another zoo post. Get ready people...
Our membership to the zoo lasts until December and we plan to squeeze out every last bit of zoo-visiting goodness. Even though we've made the rounds a few times this summer we still were able to see a few new things on this visit. One new adventure was our first trip through the "reptile house."
We also paid another visit to Jen's friend Mrs. Gorilla. She was just lounging in the sun and Jen and Aiden got to sidle right up close for a picture.
I told her that she won't think that the gorillas are so cute when they take over the planet in a Planet of the Apes type of scenario, but she just won't listen. Sheesh.
We also got to check out the Cheetahs, who looked impossibly cool stretched out on their sunny boulders.
And lastly, our best new discovery was a little pool, tucked into an out of the way corner, called "Otter Falls." The Otters are great fun to watch not just because they are so active, but also because they always seem to be genuinely having the time of their lives. This video may not really capture how fun the otters were to watch, but oh well...
If you look closely you can see the mama otter helping teach her kids how to swim.

Each time Aiden goes to the zoo, it seems he likes it more. I guess as it becomes more familiar, he feels more comfortable. His smile says it all. I know he likes monkeys, but it looked like he was apprehensive about being too close to that huge gorilla! It's funny how she came right up to the glass.
Aiden:
When your are a little older you will have to watch the movie King Kong and see how big a gorilla can really grow!!
Looks like you really enjoyed looking at the alligator or crocodile. I can't tell from the picture which one he or she is.
Remember "never smile at a crocodile", but if it was an alligator your smiling is okay.
Love Ya,

The best part was Aiden's look of wonder watching those otters!
