Our Monkey at the Zoo

Friday was a beautiful day here and we spent it at the zoo. We usually go to the spacious Minnesota Zoo, but this time we hit the Como Zoo. Como Zoo is slowly getting better, but is still rather grim in the sense that some of the animals are in very small enclosures. For small kids like Jia though, this means that the animals are front and center and about two feet away! So she had a thrilling day.

Her favorite was the giant polar bear. She kept yelling, "MORE MORE MORE MORE MORE!" the entire time we watched him.

Here she is enraptured in the aquatics area.

Here she is roaring like a lion.


Here she is clapping like a seal.


And here she is thinking that the monkeys are the most hilarious things she's ever seen.

We are overjoyed that she loves animals, birds and nature so very much, as we do as well.
