Monkeys & More...

Time to catch up on a month's worth of happenings!!

Back on March 29th, we went to a local junior college that specializes in exotic animal training for their annual spring fest fundraiser.

Zoe met up with one of her boyfriends, Nicholas, to check out the zoo and all the activities.
We all got enamored with this gibbon.  He was very loud with a myriad of noises.  We couldn't believe that just this one primate could make so much noise. 
  
You can hear for yourself in this little video (click on the arrow buttons.)
 
But clearly, climbing the fences is so much fun!

Brian compares his wingspan to the California condor!
One of the kid's activities was to "fish" for prizes...Zoe thought that was quite neat. She caught some stickers, tattoos and a beaded necklace!
 

 
Another activity was a treasure hunt for more prizes where she found more stickers and tattoos.
After we left the zoo, we had lunch at a local mall and the kids were treated to a train ride.  Thanks E for riding with the kids!

All in all, Zoe had a blast!
