Taking the monkeys to the zoo

Next big event was the LA Zoo. Papa Hargis (my dad) and I took the girls to the zoo. I hadn't been since I was little and all I remembered was a two headed snake, so I had a blast, and so did the girls so I think it was a success. The petting zoo was closed, which was a major bummer especially because that was one of the main reasons we went to the LA zoo. The pachyderm exhibit was under construction too, but that turned out to be okay because Tessa didn't want to see the
"lelaphants" because they apparently spit at people. Right inside the gates the girls were mesmerized by the seals:
Then we got a day pass for the tram. BEST INVESTMENT EVER!!! You can ride to and from different parts of the park an unlimited amount of times. SO WORTH IT. Plus, it was a hit:
Here, they're enjoying looking at something, I can't remember what. I love the smile reflected in the glass:
There was this HUGE orangutan that the girls liked initially, when he climbed up on the ledge and sat against the glass, it was HILARIOUS watching all the little kids scatter. Then they slowly walked back up to the glass.
We got to watch the monkey pick it's nose:

Monkey see, monkey do:
As a snack we found a place that sold..
Churros!!! We also got to see the "giraffees". There was a mommy, a daddy, and a baby giraffee. The daddy kept giving the baby kisses...or maybe cleaning bugs off him, but the first option sounds better:
There was this guy pushing a lot of strollers...in a stroller. The creepy thing, there were no kids around him. Anyways, I went to take a picture and Natalie realized neither she nor her sister were in the picture, and fixed that right away.
