Zoo Cooper

This past Sunday, the fam went to the Los Angeles Zoo.



Just as we entered the park, Coop fell asleep for his afternoon nap. To quote Jakob, "This is a pricey nap."



But he perked right up as soon as he heard the loud honking of flamingos. I told him they were pink because they ate shrimp. Most of the animals were asleep. The lions looked particularly lazy. To quote Jakob, "King of the jungle, MY EYE!"



The giraffes were a real highlight of the day.



And we got to see some Red Apes. There was a mother and her baby.



The baby ape was clinging to mom as she climbed up a rope. I read on the little 'Red Ape Info Plaque' how ape babies learn everything from their mommies.



That tugged at my heart.



Then we went to the Cheesecake Factory where Coop flirted with copious waitresses.



My father and Cooper are best friends and are having a blast. However, I know they are eagerly awaiting the arrival of Grannemarie. I can't wait until we're all here to enjoy days like this.



Love you, Mom! We'll see you soon :)
