Rainy Zoo

Saturday the kids and I decided we needed an adventure so we went to the zoo.  Yes, it was dumping down rain most of the time but we did it anyways.  I got some great pictures of the kids puddle hopping (Conner did actually hold his coat the entire trip because he didn't want that particular one).  The animals were all out and we had a lot of fun!

The most spectacular thing we saw while we were there was the chimpanzees.  There are four girls and I can't tell them apart but one came in the room standing straight up making kissing faces.  All of a sudden she started hopping around while making classic monkey noises.  She hopped closer and closer to the glass then, when she was about 4 feet away, jumped up and kicked the glass with both feet making a loud and startling noise.  Then she turned around and walked away.  This started everyone in the room who just thought the monkey noises were rad.  Chloe was terrified after that and would not stand any where near the chimps from that point forward (although she still tells everyone that there is a chimpanzee named Chloe and that's her name, too)
