Zoo Days

Kicking the week off on a positive note, I took the boys to the Zoo, on Monday, with my MOMS Club. Always something to learn at the Zoo, and it's good exercise too!

The prime mates never fail to delight with some form of inappropriate behavior, and today was no exception. One of the younger chimps saw us coming and decided to put on a show for his new audience. He jumped from his perch and body slammed into the window allowing himself to slide down the window. Well, you can imagine how this thrilled the kiddos and adults too! He repeated this routine over and over again .. then he stopped and took a pee, wiped his hand in it and then splashed it over the inside of the window ... so gross, but oh gosh, so entertaining. We could not stop laughing. Once the window was adequately lubed up, with his own urine, (which I'm sure made him so very proud) he promptly went back to throwing himself onto the window and letting himself slide down to the ground. The sliding aspect made so much easier now with the pee to aid him. I mean, honestly, who wouldn't find this utterly amusing??? My boys are still talking about it!
