Yesssss....this was THEE highlight of my zoo visit today.  Call me a perv, whatever!!!  As other frantic mother's scooted their toddlers away in a frenzy....I just inched up closer to take a good look.  I have some great pics.  But, it would be overload.  I think you get the jist, no? 

{He is in Heaven...or some place very similar!}

When Layla exclaimed, "Momma!!!!  What are they doing!?!"  And all the other people around me looked at me like, "Yeah MOM.....WHAT exactly are you gonna say NOW!?!"  Hrrrpppffft!

I calmly stated, "He is helping clean him!" 

HA!  In.Yo.Face. Judgemental em-effers!!!!!  Perfect response in my opinion.  And seeing as my opinion issssss thee only one that matters between me and Layla...I was proud.  And it was honest. 

This dude was NOT amused with everything going on....

{I was IN love with the bebe giraffe!}

It was a long, HOT day - but me and baby girl always have fun together!!! 

The animals of the world exist for their own reasons.  They were not made for humans any more than black people were made for white, or women created for men.
