Grandma Jo Jo, tell me again about the time I was almost kidnapped by a gorilla...

Grandma Jo Jo and Grandpa Spike took Charlie Jo on her first trip to the Santa Barbara Zoo. We rented a stroller, but mostly used it to hold the back pack and camera bag. Based on the other kidless strollers we saw, we weren't the only ones.



The little zoologist was fascinated by the flamingos.



She could have watched those elephants all day.



Having recently learned to thump her chest just like a gorilla, CJ was excited to finally meet some real ones.



Who is that in the monkey/ape family tree?



CJ and I crouched down in the viewing enclosure to check out the gorillas and...



... then this guy (gal?) galloped by the glass and punched it right at my face! Our theory is that he/she thought CJ was his/her long lost daughter and came to reclaim her. I screamed like a ninny and CJ jumped a little. She still likes to thump her chest like a gorilla though, so she doesn't APPEAR to be scarred for life. Yet.
