The day after the break.

Chronologically speaking this post should have come before The Big E, but who really cares right? We were supposed to go with our friends to the zoo the morning after Ezra broke his arm, and since I thought he would need some distraction we decided to still go. We had a good time, and Ezra is enjoying the animals more and more every time we go.

This new baby zebra was less than two weeks old.

 This may not be the best zoo, but the lion (hard to see thanks to the reflection)

has roared every time we have been there.

The grossest part of the day came in the gorilla house. There was a gorilla fairly close to the window laying on it's back being silly so we stopped to watch and get pictures. Before we left another gorilla came up to the window and stuck a piece of poop in its mouth. As if that wasn't gross enough he started smearing it all over the windows with his tongue. Ezra (who wasn't too interested in the gorillas before) was fascinated and the gorilla even moved over right in front of him to do it all over again. He and a couple other kids even tried to touch it. Luckily it was on the other side of the glass. It's like the other mom there said "now we know what he thinks of us!"

We spent the rest of the day doing things that Ezra could do with one arm, like him handing me all his animals to set up one at a time and singing with his microphone. All in all I would say it was a pretty good first day with a cast.
