Zoo...lovin' the monkeys!

So for Luke's birthday, one of his presents (from Gramia and Grandpa) was a membership to the Reid Park Zoo here in Tucson! We went with a group of friends from my mom's group a few weeks ago and had a great time! Luke loved the monkeys...hummm...enough said with my little monkey below...

Notice any resemblence???

I do see one difference...mine is wearing clothes!

We were there early in the morning before it got too hot (our temps had been in the 90s...yes it was only February). The monkeys were going crazy and swinging from the fences and ropes not to mention each other! We sat there for a good 20 minutes just watching them! It was great to see Luke get so excited about them.

We also met Bali, the resident male Lion at the zoo. He is 21 years old and has a 17 year old son that both live at Reid Park Zoo. Luke got a lion stamp that was definately a hit!

Luke also really liked the elephants. They have an African and an Asian elephant. We watched them eat breakfast and water and mill around their area playing...well as much as elephants play...they are big animals!
