The Zoo(Kathryn)

OK, so I'm a little late on this post, but we went to the zoo in the middle of May, and I just wanted to write about it.

We went to the zoo with our friends the Fandls on a Sunday in the middle of May.  It was very big.  We got some discounts, thanks to the Fandls, and then decided what we would see, since we probably wouldn't have time to see everything.  The funny thing was, I think we saw just about everything, but we didn't see zebras. (At least I didn't.) Near the beginning, Dad decided he wanted to go at a faster pace than what we were doing, so he set a time and place to meet.  We climbed up on rocks to see the seals, and tried to follow one of them with our eyes.  Somtimes we would lose it, but then we would just find another seal.  While we were doing this, Mrs. Fandl was so kind as to go to the nearest concession stand and buy us each a lollipop.  

There were a lot of monkeys at the zoo, really about 1/8 of the whole zoo were monkeys.  We didn't mind, though, they were really funny, especially the gorillas.  The little gorilla was sucking on a piece of plastic and the mom gorilla pulled him up-side down, his feet holding on to the ropes.  She took the plastic out of his mouth and hands, like she didn't approve, but then the mom started sucking on it herself!  That probably wasn't very funny to you, since it's one of those things where you have to be there.  

We met up with Dad near the end, and finished the zoo .with him.  At the gift shop, Marianna bought a blue cup with a penguin on it.
