So today I took Jaelle and Enoch to the zoo after dropping Judah off at school.
It was pour down rain most of the time we were there but still a lot of fun. I am really enjoying the membership we've gotten for the zoo. It a pretty decent sized zoo and it took us four trips before we actually saw everything in the zoo. But today was neat we got there just in time for the creature feature at the zoomazium (an indoor climbing/exploring place for kids) the kids got to pet Roberta the hen :-)
Then we went to see the gorillas and because it was pouring outside they were all right up to the windows out of the rain all the older gorilla's were napping but the almost 2yr old Uzumma ( a little girl gorilla) and one of her sister's (Ngozi or Calaya don't know which one it was though) were up playing with each other. Uzumma was walking up to the glass looking out at us and then she would kind of jump back and pat her head and rub her tummy. Then she was pestering her sister, (reminded me very much of our kids) at one point Uzumma's sister got up from her spot in the corner and went to the bathroom and while she was taking care of business Uzumma ran up and started rolling around in her sister's spot then as soon as she was done she charged at Uzumma chasing her out of her spot then looked at us and started spinning on one foot before she plopped back down in her spot. Just like Jaelle and Josiah when they are fighting over their favorite spot on the couch.
Anyway we watched them for about a half an hour and then went back to the play place for a while before heading home!

  1. Ha ha- comparing your kids to gorillas. Darwin would be proud (ha- yah right, totally jk)

    I think Maggie looks like the little baby gorilla from the cartoon Tarzan sometimes... Mel and Dan and I joke about it because her ears stick out.

    Miss you!
