Has it really been a month since my last post? A lot has been happening in our lives but the camera seems to be absent at all the wrong moments. The weather has been so schizophrenic lately so we decided to hit the zoo again one unseasonably warm January Sunday.
Camille finally gets it and recognizes the animals. Having just learned to identify and say "monkey", the chimps and orangs were her favorite followed closely by the elephants bathing in the new Elephants of Asia exhibit.
Now I know the zoo is a touchy subject for people and even I get a little weirded out by the petting zoo section where the tired old donkeys hang their heads in despair at the sight of a new wave of grabby kids coming at them while the poor goats seem to be meditating themselves to a higher plane. I was a kid myself many years ago and I can attest to the undeniable call of the wild. I am happy that Camille can have the chance to see that real monkeys aren't purple and elephants don't really fly.
