Flip at the Zoo

(Note: Ross bought me a "new to me" (refurbished and used) flip digital video camera because I'm fat and depressed. It's a lot of fun and I really like it. So easy to use. It's going to be my new way to do video. awesome. If you want to learn more, click here.)

Spartacus had the day off of school yesterday. Yeah for end of the 3rd term. He needed someone to hang with and buy him lunch and who better than the monkey and I to oblige.

It was a tough call (not for lunch because the boys both enjoy the corn dog immensely) about what do to with our afternoon of adventure. The Zoo or the Aquarium.

Hmmm......

tough call, especially for someone (me) who doesn't care for fish and sharks.

We opted to brave the cold and go for elephants and monkeys and bears, oh my. Along with half the student body of Copper Hills high school. Yeah for prom activities. And to that boy who was throwing snowballs at the penguins because "they like it" - shame on you!

The best thing about going to the zoo when it's really cold on a Friday morning right after a snow storm? No one is there and we had a zoo pass. Yeah for the yearly pass. And - the Monkey wouldn't ride in his stroller - he wanted to push it most of the zoo. You'd think that after walking an entire zoo he'd be tired. Nope. No nap yesterday (made for a super fun evening, too).





We were bundled up (not really). Uncle MeMe was wearing shorts - and slippers - and a jacket. He claims cold legs build character.

Whatever.

We signed the guest book for the gorilla that died of cancer - told her that we'd miss her. We walked and walked and walked - the animals weren't too interested in being seen, but we still had a grand time.

Thanks Uncle MeMe for wanting to hang out with us - and not your friends.

We had a good day.
