What a wonderful time we had at the Zoo.
As soon as we walked through the gates Marcus spotted the train and so of course we had to take a ride!
So we piled on board and took a very fast trip around the zoo.
Marcus loved seeing all the animals his favorites were the Elephants & Monkeys (orangutans). We actually had a really cool experience with the mom & baby orangutans (not caught on camera because Jon was outside with Seth). Marcus and I were standing looking in the window at them searching for food in the hay on the floor. The room started to get really crowded so we knelt down so others behind us could see. The mom orangutan started scooting towards us so we put our faces closer to the glass and then next thing we knew she was giving us a kiss on the glass! She came right up to our faces! I put my hand up on the glass and (yes, just like in the movie Return To Me) she put her hand up right on mine! WOW! How often does that happen. Marcus thought it was the greatest thing and so he wanted to stay. Good thing we did because a few minutes later the baby came over and also gave us a kiss! Double WOW! Everyone in the room was freaking out saying "look, look" and oohing (I even heard one person say, "Where's the camera?") Well, when we got up to leave one man said to us that that was a once in a lifetime opportunity, I definitely will not forget it, Marcus might so hopefully one day he can read this and maybe remember...
