Zoo date with Lilly



  Lilly and I had a fun "date" to learn about apes and monkeys at the zoo.  It was a class with 5 other parents and their 3 year olds.  Lilly was a little shy at first but warmed up quickly.





She enjoyed using the binoculars to find all of the hidden stuffed monkeys around the classroom.





 Altogether, we made a monkey tail and ears, binoculars and an ape mask.  It was so much fun.  Also, just so you know, we did see real apes and monkeys, I just didn't get any pictures :)





Lilly took this picture of me.

          



This girl's so tired from filling her brain with monkey facts.



  3 takeaways from the class::

1. Difference between apes and monkeys?  Apes don't have tails.

2. Orangatan rhymes with fan... I always called them orangaTANGs.

3. I made better ape noises than any other parent there.

Monkeys v. apes, tail or no tail. I never knew, thanks.
Looks like you two had a great time.

Learn something new everyday... but I'm sure I'll still end up calling them oranguTANGs out of habit.

By the way, I'm so jealous that you guys live that close to a zoo!
