First Zoo Trip

So, the Keen set of grandparents were in town for a visit, and we all took a trip to the zoo. This was Maggie's first trip and we think she had a good time. She was particularly fond of the Gorillas, both in real and statue form, as you will see from the pictures. Highlights of the day, showing up to the monkey house minutes after a baby monkey was born. Try and see the tiny baby clutching onto its mother. Its hard to see, but if you look closely you can tell. It was still all wet and she was cleaning it up. When the zoo keeper said the monkey had not passed the placenta yet, we headed out. That was something we didn't want to see. Maggie did take a tumble while running around, scraping both her knees. Luckily, the undying camp counselor in me continues to carry instant ice packs and bandaids. So I wiped her up and slapped bandaids on her "bo bo" as she calls it. She was so cute. Every animal was greeted with a hi and every animal was told bye bye as we left. It was a good day.

Keens, your daughter and the stories you tell about her are unnecessarily adorable! Seriously, could she be any cuter? You guys are awesome, we miss you. KD
