At the end of the month of May, Jared and Sereen came with their kids to visit. It was great to be able to see Sierra for the first time, she is such a chunk. I love it. Poor Sereen was sick most of the visit but she was still up for a good day at the zoo. It was the perfect day to go, not to hot but not cool either. It was great.
A kind woman at the zoo gave Isaac and Andrew some of her lettuce to feed the giraffes. Their long black tongues were so cool and kind of grouse. The boys thought it was neat though.
Emeri with her Aunties!
The gorillas were a great turn out this time. There were three within 10 feet of the glass and one who leaned right against it. It was so amazing. They are huge creatures that look like they just want to hit something. For the 15 minutes we were observing the gorillas they never turned and looked through the glass, they just faced away. For about 10 seconds though, this gorilla turned and stared right at Emeri. It freaked her out and she backed away quickly. I don't think she ever returned, at least not as close.
We stopped at the children's area to cool off a bit. The kids had way to much fun pretending to be wolves, splashing each other, and hanging out as cousins.
Emeri loved this giant turtle tunnel. She would run in, wait a few seconds, run back out, and then stop with this adorable "peek-a-boo" expression on her face. HAHA She did it for a good ten minutes, in and out, just as enthusiastically as the first time.
Love these smiles more then anything else!
