Spring Break #1 - Zoo Day

We've been having internet problems, so I'm a couple weeks behind. Thus, I'm going to make two postings today to separate events.

We had two, count 'em, TWO weeks of spring break around here. Aaron was two weeks ago and the girls just finished theirs last week. So, really, there was no real, BREAK, around here. During Aaron's spring break, Aaron had a few play dates and during one of the days, I picked the girls up a bit early from school and we took a trip to the zoo with our neighbors. Here are a few pics from that day. We lucked out and had decent weather.

Mitchell, Bernadette, Carly, Samantha, Aaron and Mackenzie - standing next to a very stinky lily. Supposedly it smells like rotting flesh - I wasn't interested in verifying this fact...

Notice the baby gorilla in it's mom's lap. It was SOOOO cute! Such expressive eyes and I swear it smiled at us at one point!

This is an orangatan. This one was cracking us up. It had it's face, I kid you not, shmooshed up against the glass with that piece of burlap over its head. It was just staring straight ahead, looking at no one in particular. At one point, this 2 year old little boy, was right in front of him, kissing his lips against the glass. Very cute!

Ok, this may be tricky, but can you figure out who the REAL monkeys are?
