the animals at the zoo

well elijah really wanted to get a good look at the animals...
but it ended in "mom i can't do it, it's too tall!"
so i normally don't take pictures of the animals for a couple of reasons. 1. the kids never stay long enough at one exhibit to let me get my camera out, wait for the right picture, and then actually take a picture. and 2. the animals just don't do anything that's very camera worthy (to me anyways) yesterday was very different. this gorilla was so showing off. he kind of was climbing this big stick, then he looked at me saw i was taking his picture and climbed to the very highest perch and sat down. (then he clapped for himself!)

then the other animals were all growling, hooting, and just yelling!!!

check out that arm span!!!
trying to get some warm sun (it really was very overcast, rainy and kind of cold with bursts of sunshine and warmth)


we had lots of fun. we go to the zoo pretty often but this day was especially fun. i don't know if it was the weather or the company. it was just a good day. so far today it is COLDand oh so WINDY and looks like it's going to rain (again)!!!!

today's adventures Iron Man, we'll see how that goes.
