ZOO9

Obviously, our blog has fallen severely behind. That's mainly due to prolonged illness, which I could blog about all day long and still not vent enough; maybe I'll come back to that later. . .

Today's entry is backtracking to the second week of May, when we went on our annual end of the semester trip to Riverbanks Zoo. It was really fun - we got to see a bear fight, which was pretty crazy, and the lemurs were actually out for once and not hiding from us.

There were also a couple of hilarious moments too, like when we overh
eard this lady tell this little girl: "Hold yo sista hand!" Or when we saw this little girl with a giant lollipop and her mom said, "You better suck that thing down to the stick!!! Dadgum $11 for a lollipop!" and the mom's friend replied, "I ain't never seen the like!!!"

All in all, a good trip. Below are some of the best pictures, with appropriate captions.

Bear Fight! It was kind of disturbing, but not as disturbing as the group of kindergarten girls yelling "Fight, fight, fight!" at the bears. . .


King Julian! "I like to move it, move it!"






Yeah, no joke.


Guy next to us: "I think that's called a musket. Look at the musket." (Oblivious to the giant sign saying 'meerkat.')

The real reason we go to the zoo every year: So I can take a billion pictures of the flamingo exhibit!!!
