My mom used to sing that song to us A LOT when we were kids. It brings back some major memories...and poor Keller will have them too. Its just such a catchy tune! Going to the zoo, zoo, zoo...How about you, you, you...hahah
We took Keller to the Greenville Zoo recently. The zoo here is great. Its more like a leisurely walk in the park which happens to have monkeys, elephants, lions, giraffes and a few other random animals. Nothing fancy, totally small and easy. Its a great zoo.
I was lucky enough through my work to get a behind the scenes tour of the zoo one day and it made me feel so much better. They truly love these animals...a lot. No harm is done to these beautiful beasts other than keeping them out of their natural habitat. (which i know is no small thing) As you can see, I struggle with the zoo concept, and the circus, and anything else which cages animals. I'm working on it...for Keller.
Anyway, he loved it. I thought he wouldnt really get it (being so young) but he pointed at the elephants, stared at the giraffes and ran around like a crazy monkey. We cant wait to go back!
