Curious George Visits the Zoo

Last Monday after we dropped Riley off at her co-op class, we headed to the Greenville Zoo.

First we played on the new playground at Cleveland Park - a very cool recycled playground.

After exhausting ourselves at the playground we headed for the zoo. The weather was beautiful and we strolled slowly, listening to the crazy monkeys waking up and visited our very favorite exhibit - Bob, the baby orangutan. He is only two years old and is the same size as Piper. He puts on quite a show and his mom even strolled right over to the window and stared so hard at London that London just began cracking up. Piper Finn did not like the orangutan coming so close to her and her tiny hands were shaking from fear. (I rescued her, of course.)

In the picture - the leopard was stalking back and forth behind his weak-looking glass enclosure. I didn't really care for him so much. But Flat Raven visited the zoo with us and she needed to have her picture taken with the scary leopard. (Flat Phelps boys had not yet arrived in the mail.)
