To the Zoo

We met my friend Julie and her little boy Jacob at the zoo over the weekend. It was a small zoo about 30 minutes from Mayberry. They had alligators, a reptile house (which I did not step foot in), tigers, monkeys, bird house, and every other animal imaginable that can tolerate this warm climate.

We went to Chick-Fil-A for lunch and then headed down towards the zoo. Will fell asleep in the car and I just transfered him to the stroller and he slept almost the entire time. This made is much easier on me. Jake and Jacob had so much fun feeding the animals and running ahead of us moms saying, "wow, look, wow.""

We saw the tigers fighting with one another. That was really neat. Now Jake thinks that there are tigers in our backyard at night!!!

The trip to the zoo went smooth until we were about to leave for the day. We saw a lady with an 8 month old baby monkey!! I was holding Will and Jake was standing right by us with the entire stroller. Sudddenly, the monkey jumps from the lady's shoulders to our stroller and onto Jake's back. It then proceeds to jump on Jake's head and pull his hair. Jake started screaming and saying, "help, get the monkey, get the monkey."

I could not do anything except laugh myself. I was too scared of the monkey to actually help my poor baby. The lady came and got the monkey off of jake and he grabbed my arm and ran to the exit. He is in no hurry to go back to the zoo.

He keeps telling everybody, "that monkey jumped my back and pulled my hair."

I told bobby if I had my video camera we could have won some money on America's Home Funniest Videos for that moment!!!
