We decided to head to the zoo on May 4th. Here is Gracie with the only giraffe outside. She was scared at first and wanted to leave, but warmed up to the idea of looking at animals once she figured out they couldn't get her. Her favorite attrations were the little monkey's in the Lied Jungle, the polar bear, and the Aquarium.
Poor Evie really was just along for the ride. She really didn't look at any of the animals and was sleeping a lot of the time. When she was awake, she just looked around.
This gorilla was interested in the girls....probably to eat. He was way out in the middle of his caged area and came up to the glass and sat there for a little while looking at the girls and went on his merry way. These guys are cool to look at, but if I ever encountered one out in the wild, pretty sure I would be dead; they are powerful! We did have one (not this one) pound his chest and kick at the glass in anger. Don't want to be there when the glass breaks. We were there for about 4 hours and that was long enough. At least the weather was good - 82 degrees. Dad (Hoff) had to be the rule breaker and was feeding popcorn and grapes to all the fish and monkeys.
