Visit to the Zoo - March 14th

Cyanne, Tom & I visited the zoo recently one beautiful Saturday afternoon.



The gibbons were going nuts! This one guy was totally showing off, swinging from tree to tree. And he was way, way up towards the top of the eucalyptus tree. (Devon, I told Cyanne your story about when you knocked one of the gibbons unconscious when throwing a corn cob for them to eat when you were a zoo camp counselor... she's yet to fully appreciate the humor of the story. We'll tell her again later =))



Cyanne had a really good time looking at all of the animals - she especially enjoyed all of the birds. She's really into birds at the moment. She emphatically points and says "zzeessshhhh." What that means, I've no idea =). She points at the bird, opens her eyes wide, looks at you and nods as if to say, "you see the bird? the bird! right?!"





She also does the flapping arm/flying movement when she look at the birds.
She also had fun looking at the penguins and the turtles in the water area.

Meerkats and giraffes were also popular.



The lions were taking a 'cat' nap, snoozing in the sun ... so she couldn't really see them but I did manage to take a few photos:



It was amazing for us to see how much more interested she was this time than when we'd ventured there in mid-August. She was much more curious and interested in all of the animals.

As we now renewed our membership... we plan to spend lots of time at the zoo!

I am so pleased to hear that the story of Devon and the gibbon is being passed down to the next generation :)
