We're going to the zoo zoo zoo, how about you you you?

Some pics from our most recent trip to the zoo: (So that nobody is left out of the joke, 'Whazzat' is pretty much the only thing that Ella says - and she says it a LOT.)

"Whazzat?" (It's a chameleon.)

"Whazzat?" (It's a meerkat.)

Two little dinosaurs just hatching.

"Whazzat?" (It's a reindeer.)

Again, 2 kids, 2 levels of enjoyment.

For 34 years I would have sworn that the raccoon enclosure was a cruel joke - but I've seen the raccoon like 10000000 times this year. Proves me wrong, I guess!

"Whazzat?" (It's a prairie dog.)

"Whazzat?" (It's Ben being a prairie dog.)

The next two pictures show Ben rolling down a hill and Ella trying to copy him:

Tonight on CSI: Zoo - We're pretty sure that the standing camel did it. Perhaps it was hump envy.

"Whazzat?" (It's a skeleton, according to Ben.)

2 kids, 2 levels of enjoyment redux:

"Whazzat?" (It's an incredibly friendly and sociable prairie dog.)


Two birds: one caged and one flying free:

p.s. I was going to update you on Dottie (Dorrie? Debby? DooBee?) the really old Polar Bear but her enclosure was empty and they were cleaning it out. Another case for CSI: Zoo perhaps.
