Zoo!

A successful family outing to the National Zoo.

Kiran is wearing VERY fancy shoes, which she insisted was necessary in order to meet the monkeys (she first asked to wear a pair of my high heels).

Scoping out the gorillas.

Mama and her little monkeys in the ape house.

Amara gets up close and personal with a gorilla.

Dada and his little monkeys in the ape house.

Kiran points to an orangutang.

Showing her fancy shoes to the orangutang.  [He was impressed.]

Handful of monkeys.

Kiran with the leopard.  The monkeys were the hit of the day, but the leopard was a close second.

Amara's personal tour guide lectures her on the leopard.

Excited about fishing cats.

An elephant!!

Watching the elephant.

My two pachydermologists.  [Is that a word?]

Chillin' with the elephant.

More elephant.

Walking.

The flowers were more Amara's speed.

Looking sweet while big sissy takes a second spin through the ape house to say goodbye to the monkeys.

Best.  Moment.  Ever.  Kiran ran up to the frog statue, hugged it, and screamed, "Mama, take my picture!"
