Kristin, this first one's for you. Mostly I was just trying to recreate the "Mary was happy but sad" moment. I think I nailed it, but I'll let you make the call. Here's Adam pressing the flesh with our nearest ancestors. I'm not going to lie. I had SEVERAL moments where it took all the restraint I could muster not to pull a dad and scream at the monkeys/chimpanzees/apes "Hey Mackenzie. Get down off that tree."
By far, my favorite moment at the zoo was in the gorilla exhibit. I mean, this thing must have weighed 3 trizillion pounds but he was behind some pretty thick glass. When we got there, he was leaning up against the glass wall but doing a Rene Zellweger pose all looking over it's shoulder. ANYWAY, this little boy about 2 years old pounds on the window and says "Hey Monkey! Come over her and bite me!" Ahh, kids. Hilarious.
Adam, try to fight off the urge to take one of those monkey statues home because in just a few weeks we are bringing a real monkey to spend a few days with you and you can shake her hand for real - hand on, we're coming.....
ReplyDeleteI am going to tickle the real Monkey silly when she gets to Dallas...and I can't wait! Are you sure you guys can't come this weekend?
