So last Friday I had an all girls day. This Friday was a day for Emery and me. My mom and I took him to the Atlanta Zoo. It was his first trip to any zoo, and I think he had a good time. His favorite animals were the monkeys. Any monkeys. Big or small, sleeping or playing. I tried to correct him once, telling him what he was actually looking at where gorillas. He tried to say the word “gorilla” a couple of times then he said, “No Mommy. Monkeys.”
Our last stop of the day was at the orangutans. I told him their names and he hesitated a minute before saying, “Rang-Tangs”. I smiled and cheered and he seemed satisfied that we could call them by their proper name. (Hee hee!)
Yeah for me that I remembered my camera this time. My mom was nice enough to take this picture of me with Emery. I have so few pictures of myself with my kids since I am usually the one behind the camera. I really treasure the ones I do have, even it is one where I am crouched down next to a metal gorilla monkey! :)

Very cute! I bet he had a ball.
I haven’t been to the Atlanta Zoo in years–we went once–and managed to catch a Braves game and go to Six Flags. The zoo and Six Flags were great, but the game was extremely rainy! I’m so glad you posted a picture of yourself–now I know what you look like! Very lovely!
