Day 146: The Zoo, Baseball Games

I think I've posted about my love of the zoo before, but I went to the zoo on Friday and it was amazing - save that it was field trip day and there SO many children running all over the place.  Anyway, we got to witness an elephant walking across a bridge over all of us.  He stopped and stuck his trunk out at us and looked at everyone - and then would continue to walk.  Elephants, in general are just amazing.

We also had one monkey that came over near us as soon as we arrived and hung on the cage just 3 feet away staring at us.  It was a curious day for the animals.

Another funny thing to happen was when I saw that this orangoutang was the same age as my brother.  I sent him a text saying "This guy is the same age as you!"  To which my brother responded "Our descriptions are even similar! We are both tall!" ...which I verbally said "He is not tall," referring to my brother.  My dad proceeded to say that he WAS tall - his feet touch the ground.  Oh...dad jokes... I love that man. And the humor of my family.

I'd been playing hostess all week and it was wearing on me, so luckily my dad called Coors Field and got some tickets for us to go see a Rockies game.  I love baseball games - I don't know why, but they are fun.  Perhaps it's because I grew up watching the mariners when they were great, but the atmosphere of the game is just exciting.
