Zoo lunch.

[mrissa]

timprov's entry about our lunch with Virginia is true as far as it goes.

He does not mention the baby takin the big takins were trying to teach to headbutt, and it was trying out the head motions and falling over.

He does not mention the buffalo rolling around on its back.

And he does not mention that when he started to pick up speed, pushing me in the zoo wheelchair, he scared the daylights out of the grade school kid using the path at the time. "Oh noes!" said the kid's expression. "Is the fat guy going to push that lady's wheelchair into me? Oh noes! Oh noes!"

It was awesome. I am now a woozy wobbly thing on the couch, and I have no idea what I will manage to eat for dinner, and it was very much worth it.

I have rolling bison photos from last weekend. They're not posted yet, but they do exist.

No headbutting last weekend though. I'm so disappointed.

Well, he was really not quite up to learning it today, either. The big takins kept disengaging from their headbutts and looking down at the baby takin like, "See? You get it now?" And he...kind of didn't. But in an extremely cute way.

Oh, I love watching the takins learn to headbutt. Cutest thing ever. (Having been around for previous calves, especially a few years ago, where they were a year apart, so you had itty bitty takin, and sorta-pre-teen takin both with lots of energy.

I am looking forward to going with my sister in 2 weeks, and seeing the new stuff, too. Bears! Boars! Otters! (It'll be me, my older sister, my nephew (about 14), and my brother-in-law's cousin's kids, who 13 and a rising college sophomore)

There were also spindly stumbly wee camels. Two of them, so keep an eye out.
