We had breakfast with Gibbon monkeys!


Mommy heard about this event at a nearby Gibbon conservancy -- and immediately bought tickets for us to attend yesterday. Amma and Baba joined us, as did Aunt Cody, Uncle Kyle and little baby John, who are big fans of zoos and all things animal-related. I was excited to see live Gibbons and to hear their beautiful morning melodies. 

As expected, we had a terrific time! We enjoyed learning about Gibbon monkey behavior on the tour, and getting up close and personal with some of the monkeys. We even met a baby Gibbon called Goliath. He was quite small -- and had almost as much energy as I do! We met another who likes to beg visitors for food. Silly monkey. 

Best of all. we dined like Gibbons (and learned that they're vegan) and were encouraged to sing like them! So not only did we learn about them, we also got to pretend to be Gibbon monkeys!
