Elephant Poop

We went to the zoo today. We stayed primarily in the animals' houses because it was pretty cold. We watched an elephant get a bath and eat some carrots with her trunk. There was also a big, big, big elephant that was chowing down on some straw.  He kept looking at us with his big elephant eyes. Lastly, we saw some elephants in another enclosure that was inside, but instead of being in with them separated by a big, iron, fence, we just looked through the window.  There were 3 elephants and poop all over the place, which of course Attison was obsessed with. He just kept saying "dere is poop, and dere is poop. MAMA! Wook at all the poop!"
"It's ok buddy, someone will come get it later."
"No mama, the poop!"
"Remember how we go for walks with Jenny and when she poops we pick it up?"
*blank stare in my general direction.*
"Well, someone is going to come pick up the poop for the elephants, so we don't need to worry about it."
"Yeah, pick up the poop for Jenny."
"Let's go see the monkeys. Come on, we're going to go to the monkey house."
"Maybe the monkeys can pick up the poop for the elephants.  Mama, the monkeys pick up the poop for the elephants."

So then we went to the monkey's house. The monkeys must have been bored out of their minds from being inside for the long cold winter because they were all up in our faces. These aren't great pictures, but you can see that the kids were totally having some one-on-one face time with the monkeys.

Dennis and the blue monkey

Attison and the gorilla baby or maybe the chimpanzee.

I can't tell and they were both hanging out with us for awhile.

 This guy is definitely the gorilla baby.

Boys.
