We all going to the zoo






It was a beautiful 25 degrees today, perfect for our visit to the zoo. Part of Ben's birthday gift was an adoption of a baboon at the zoo. We choose today to view it because kids were free when they dressed up for Halloween. We decided to go low key with minimal pirate gear, to ensure we were comfortable for the day.
Ben was thrilled to see the baboons, one of whom was about 1month old. The other highlights were watching the orangutans come out to search for snacks. The large daddy was absolutely enormous and so majestic. The gorillas are a personal favorite. Lunch was a picnic on the grass...end of October at that!
