First Family Outing


Isaac was home for a couple of hours this afternoon, so we all went to Como Zoo together. Amelie slept through it all in the frontpack and didn't even realize we went anywhere, but Elizabeth thought it was great.

The mountain lion was very vocal so we got to hear him growl and make lots of cool noises. Other than that, none of the animals did much that was interesting. We had a streak a couple years ago that every time we went to Como, the animals were mating. Seriously. We've witnessed lions, zebras, and spider monkeys "cuddling" each other. Isaac and I were particularly fascinated by the zebras because the female kept kicking and fighting the male away. Unfortunately, there was nothing like that today. Oh, well. No hard questions that way, then.

lol Como Zoo has never been THAT interesting for me. If it makes you feel better, I have never even heard the lions roar! Actually...come to think if it, something interesting did happen once. The gorilla got made when I brought my little class to see him and he started banging on the glass. He made some of the kids cry :(

Ha ha ha ha!!! That's funny!!
I always get depressed by the polar bear there. He (or she) just does the same lap through the pool over and over and over again. I was there a few years ago and had this deja vu from when I was a child and visited - he was just doing the same thing from years ago.
Glad you guys had a good time despite the lack of drama!! :)
