Going to the zoo, zoo,zoo, how 'bout you, you, you?


On Monday, we meet our friends at the Jacksonville Zoo. (From L to R: Asher(5), Jack(6), Trevor(4), Arianna (7). Michelle's kids didn't have school, my kids had the morning off. The joy of homeschooling. We had such a good time, the weather was a little cool, but it was a nice relief.

Today the monkeys were very entertaining. When we were at the monkey exhibit, one of the kids knocked down a speaker that was set up for the Halloween Spooktacular. The speaker was wedged between a roof and the monkey cage. I was trying to pull the speaker up by the wire, and was having great difficulty. The monkeys saw me struggling and came to my rescue. He reached out his hand and pushed the speaker up for me. It was so much fun watching them!
