....And They All Asked For You

That's right, today was Lilly's first trip to the Audubon Zoo! Sorry no pictures, as your guest-blogger (Mark) forgot the camera. Anyway, trust me when I tell you that the pictures would not have been great. Lilly was not at all interested in the animals! We met our friends Bill and Jessica and their 10 month old son, Parker. We saw elephants, lions, tigers, giraffes - everything you could imagine. Lilly could not be bothered to look at any of it. She was more interested in all the people!

I picked her up at one point, so she could see the lion. However, she was more interested in the sign (of course trying to eat it) than she was in the lion moving right in front of her face. She acted like she had seen that already! She did enjoy looking at the gorillas. There was one gorilla sitting up, playing with his toes. Lilly did the same. Puts a new spin on the old phrase: "Monkey See Monkey Do."

But two hours at the zoo is tiring for anyone . . . Lilly included. As we walked home through the park, Lilly was sound asleep. She may not have cared for the animals, but suffice it to say that the zoo was a very successful adventure. I am sure we will be back!
