Zoo with the Grandparents

Last weekend, Grandma Marianne and Grandpa Ira visited from NYC.




What, you might wonder, does a toddler do to entertain two grandparents when they visit our fine square state?




Why, you take them to the Denver Zoo, of course!




CAROUSEL BLUR!




Grandpa Ira told me lots of cool facts about the beasties that we saw.




I'm pretty sure he had as much fun as I did.




(And I had a lot of fun.)




Besides the carousel, this is my favorite spot in the zoo. I could stand here for hours, just looking at the mandrills and DeBrazza's monkeys.




Dad puts me in the covered wagon sometimes.




My expression might make you think he left me here for hours, but really I like the wagon a lot.




See?




I'm staring at an okapi here.




They don't make much noise.




Okapis are what you might get if you magically mixed a giraffe, a horse, and a zebra. I think they should be called girorbras, but biologists don't listen to toddlers as much as they should.




I hope Grandma and Grandpa come back soon. I like walking them around the zoo.
