Trip to the Zoo

A couple of weeks a go Mason and I went to the zoo with Rae, Macy, and Jarett. It was our first time to go this year and the weather was perfect. It was also a good day because they had a new gorilla, and they had changed their environments. Because of this the gorillas were very busy exploring. The two younger female gorillas also kept taunting the older one, Timbo, who just wanted to be left alone. It was interesting to watch, but I felt sorry for her. Mason is still talking about Timbo. Here are a few pictures... The kids love the bird exhibit in the children's area because you get to feed the birds. One decided to perch on my head. I didn't care if he did that, I just didn't want poop on my head :)



At the gorilla exhibit, Mason and Jarett wouldn't quit playing with the locks. Mason said they were trying to get the gorillas out of the cave, probably not a great idea.


There is a parrot named Ralphie on one of Mason's favorite Sesame Street episodes. Mason loved looking at the parrot, and he kept calling him Ralphie.

Jill, I must say that I love your new hairdo that you're rockin in the first picture. I think everyone will be wearing a bird on their head soon.
