In honor of Connor's 8th birthday on Monday, all of us (except dad) went to the Cincinnati Zoo. It had been quite some time since we had a zoo membership, and Connor suggested to purchase a membership as his birthday present this year. We were blessed with partly cloudy weather, with high temps in the low 70s. It was just absolutely perfect!
On our way out, we visited the gift shop, then saw some little penguins that were outside! While watching the penguins, we heard some tropical sounding animals. At first we thought it was one of the zoo soundboxes, but as we headed toward this gibbons, we saw them hooting (or whatever the technical term is) and swinging around. It was the first time I had ever seen such a show at the zoo. I took a video w/my cell phone, but this person's video on YouTube is much better:
On our way home, we stopped by the grocery store to buy a birthday cake. That evening, Connor had to miss a baseball game to go to First Communion practice. He will be making his First Communion this Saturday. We're all very excited. It has been such a big week for Connor! Hopefully I'll post more about Saturday next week.
