We got to participate with the BOO at the ZOO, which means we got in an hour and a half early and trick-or-treat at the zoo. We were so excited to trick-or-treat again because by this time Aubree was getting pretty good at it and we still would do it 3 more times. It was fun to see the animals as they were just being let into there outside cages. Last time we went to the zoo it was really hot so we only saw about half so we started the day out by seeing the animals we missed last time. That is when we found my new favorite animal in the zoo the Siamang. He is a large member of the Gibbons family. The Siamang is very neat because it has this sac that sits between their chin and chest that amplifies their sound. Apparently you can hear them for 2 1/2 miles. When we walked upto these chimps they were just starting to make some noise and that made Aubree start making the noise back at them. Well they must have either understood her or felt territorial (which is why they make the sound), because after she did they got really loud for a few minutes it was so magical.
As we walked around the backside of the zoo we found the Osteridge, which Aubree told us was her favorite that day. As soon as Aubree and Eli walked up to fence she came right over and just looked at them. Then as we were about to take the pictures she started to eat. It was neat to see Aubree be so taken with that beautiful animal. The zoo has resently created a Gorilla escape, it has a great views of the Gorillas and is usually quite busy. Last time we went I missed the Gorilla's and wanted to see them this time. As we got the to big window we saw some friends from our ward and as we talked Aubree and their little girl stood next to window and watched the Baby Gorilla play. The next thing I knew the Baby Gorilla was walking up to the little girls. I thought she just wanted to come say Hi, well I was wrong because as soon as she got close enough the Baby Gorilla threw her arms up onto the glass and just started banging on it. It shook Aubree up, becuase she put her hands up in the air and asked to be picked up because she didn't like it. It was hilarious in a I am so glad there is glass between us and them kind of way.
As part of the trick-or-treating the girls got monkey masks, which as we were leaving Aubree wanted to put on. She was so funny when she would put the mask on she would say," I'm not Aubree, I am Monkey". Then she would lift up the mask and say now I'm Aubree. She has such a great imagineation. I Love the zoo and am so greatful to my Heavanly Father for creating such amazing animals.
