A Day at the Zoo

Between all of the getting-ready-to-go stuff, we took time for a day at the zoo with some friends. Our kids had a blast with their kids, who line up pretty closely in age to ours.

We were rather entertained by the fact that one of the gorillas is named Kira! A zoo volunteer pointed out which one was Kira. She was a funny one, playing with a blanket and running all over the place. Her mom was sitting right up at the glass, just wishing she could play with all of the kids. The youngest gorilla, Kira's sister, was a ham! She stood by the glass turning flips, standing on her head, and generally showing off for all of the kids.


Here is Kira (the person!)with the friendly mom behind her, and the youngest sister just showing behind her head. In the very back you can see Kira (the gorilla!) playing. Silas was just fascinated with these guys, and couldn't get enough of watching them.

Here is Kira with her buddy.
And Elayna with her sweet friend.
