we went to como zoo this weekend with our best friends.  it was a lot of fun.  como is a nice zoo for a free zoo.  they have monkees and giraffes and lots of animals!  we actually saw one of the gorillas up close just taking it easy.  this does not happen often.  usually they sit back and do nothing this time of year because it can still be a little too cold for them to be outside.  oh well, it was still fun.  there is also a brand new baby orangoutang named Java!  it is very cute!  (i wish that i could have gotten a photo).  it was also amazing to watch the mother orangoutang and see the parenting skills that she has.  just amazing.
