I think those Gorillas might be a good babysitter for a few hours...

G-Ma and G-Pa let us tag along on their zoo trip!

I was a little nervous about the trip, but Holynd had a great time!

Especially since she got to wear a super-cool floppy hat!

Aunt "Twitch" and Holl-e-wood on the Elephant slide.

(Apparently, the little girl in the background was sick of waiting for her turn! She looks a little frustrated!)

This elephant would "sneeze" and blow water on everyone. It was pretty entertaining.

Ok! This picture is a story in itself. From the moment we walked in the zoo doors, Uncle Ike couldn't talk about anything else but riding the train! We walked all over the zoo, looked at everything, had a picnic and even saw the bird show..... All the while, Uncle Ike said, "Now it's time for the train", NINE MILLION TIMES! We finally reached the train... and this little sign was there to greet us.... Needless to say, he was devastated.

These Gorillas were fun! After seeing them, I knew where to take Holynd if she got fussy.

They looked like fairly decent babysitters.

The Bird Show was one of the only attractions Holynd really noticed.

When the birds would fly over the audience, her head would spin so fast we thought it would fall off her shoulders.

Holynd got to ride the merry-go-round with Aunt "Twitch"! I thought she would get scared, but she was really brave.

A bear..... (You can tell I didn't learn much at the zoo....)

I made Holynd wear this big floppy hat. When you have a daughter as "white" as I do, you worry about skin cancer everyday. I bought this hat to keep the sun off her face. It was huge, but what do you expect trying to find a baby-sized hat, last minute at Wal-Mart!

That was our zoo trip!

PS: We call Tevyn, Aunt Twitch because she of how nervous she gets around the baby.

We're pretty sure that if Holynd spent too much time with Tevyn, Holynd would develop a nervous "twitch"!
