Is this where we belong?

We decided to pay a visit to our Arkansas zoo today....yes folks, we have a zoo that is about 30 minutes away. Our family might belong there but somehow they haven't committed us to the monkey cages yet! The kids had a great time feeding the animals. There's a petting area and also a drive through area that has all kinds of wild animals. We saw a rhinoceros, hippos, lions, tigers, wildebeest, giraffes, zebras, kangaroos, monkeys galore, and the list goes on! The chimp (shown below) was my absolute favorite. He did a few dances for us; would clap for himself; spit on the goats below him and then go get more water to spit on them again; threw a metal piece he was cleaning his cage with at the goats; made kissing noises and so many other things! We stayed in front of his cage for a good 20 minutes and laughed hard! I wish I had gotten a video. I guess the funniest part to everyone else is that Sandy and I were making all kinds of racket just to get him to act for us! I'm going to have to go back and visit my relative...he was good therapy for me!


My favorite chimp!
A tiny baby monkey!
