It had been years since we’d been to the zoo, so …
I brought my bear (named Tiger) along to see what’s new there.
One word: Hats.
Tiger liked checking out the polar bears.
This, however, is not a polar bear.
This is a giant snapping turtle that used to scare me when I was a little kid. I’m cool with her now.
This bird chews gum and blows bubbles out of her nose.
This Zoe doesn’t chew gum at all …
… but she eats black beans now.
Here she is showing you what a black bean is.
Here she is eating one.
Ha! I was doing that years ago!
Youngsters these days.
Zoe takes this stuff personally now.
To demonstrate her maturity, she counts her beans (but not out loud).
I don’t realize it, but dad gave Zoe some of this quesadilla when I wasn’t paying attention!
This is her “How you like me now?” look.
