The one where Monkey plays with monkeys

The other day the fam ventured over to Cincinnati.

We wanted to make a stop by IKEA (I needed to get me some of those AWESOME laundry bins!)

And Puddie wanted to make a pit stop at Jungle Jim's

However, the main part of our trip was to the Cincinnati Zoo...

It was by far the best trip to the zoo we have ever had...

The animals were so active and so close.

Well most were active...

These dudes were sleeping...

But they were still absolutely adorable and a sight to see.

Then we went to see a wolf about some howling...

It was amazing.

And beautiful...

We also saw the giraffes

And Miss Add had to see the elephants...

***

At some point we stopped for pizza...

And binoculars...

Then off to more animals...

But the highlight of the trip was the Bonobos...

The Bonobo babies were sooo adorable...

We loved watching them snug with their mamas

So precious

But then, one of the little babies took a break from the snuggin' and...

Ran right over and began to play with Miss Add...

He interacted with her until she was ready to leave. Miss Add tells you all about it in the clip below.

On our way out we stopped by and saw the gorillas...

Again... amazing, beautiful creatures...

I was in awe of God's creativity all day long.

That and there was no way I was gonna mess with this dude... just sayin'

The zoo keeper said that gorillas were more about intimidation than anything else...

I think this dude has it down pat...

Thanks for a wonderful time Cincinnati!
