We took The Kid to the zoo for the first time a few weekends ago. And a good time was had by all. It was decided that the Richmond Zoo would be just the thing, what with the Grandparents living not so far away from there. And the weather was nice too. The mid-80s at noon in Richmond in August is just about unheard of. But we weren't complaining.
What did we see? There were small monkeys (or "gunkeys" as The Kid calls them).
There were big monkeys*.
there were chickens
Chickens which needed to be chased, no less.
We also saw gators, tigers, camels, bears, zebras, and assorted other creatures. All behind fences that seemed to be exactly at the Kid's eye level. Not that she wasn't able to adapt.
But best of all, The Kid got to see her grandparents.
* OK, so orangutans aren't technically monkeys. They're great apes, but until I can get The Kid to day "hominidae", they'll be monkeys.

A priceless day. One of my happiest. I have to say that the look on your face when she noticed the wild uncaged Little Boy was also a winner. Love ya. Mean it.
