FHE: The Zoo

Last week we went to the zoo for FHE. It was fun to go with Dave. The zoo was empty and it was very relaxing.
The orangutans seemed to be very friendly! When we walked up to see them, Milli and I just stood right up to the window. Eli, the one with the big huge cheeks, saw us eating some fishies and grabbed a stool and sat right in front of us. He was at eye level and just started at us with big brown monkey eyes. After a few minutes Eli, opened his big mouth and tried to get us to share with him and as much as we would of like that we couldn't. Still it was really cool. He was licking the glass and slurping his tongue all over it. It was a little gross but, still so neat to be that close to such an amazing animal. He needs a seriously long visit with the dentist :) His hands were so impressive and I think he looks like a very sweet orangutan. I certainly won't forget that 'connection'.
Dave is usually the photographer at our house, but I managed to get some got shots as well. I love this one of Milli and Dave walking together and the one below of some sloppy kisses for Dave and Leah and Mylo hugging in the background. I love it!



Milli, Mylo AND Leah all on the elephant truck. I love these monkeys... They seriously make me so happy, even when i am mad at them!
I also LOVE these two handsome and funny boys. How could I be so lucky?

One last picture... I love Leah and Mylo's expression, they look like siblings. Now Milli, I am still not sure.

The zoo is fun; and it's even more fun when all of you can go, including Dave, huh? I want to go in the winter time at night.
