Are you sure it wasn't a LEMUR?

This last weekend we went up to the Cincinnati Zoo to celebrate Father's Day with the Farleys. We had a grand time wandering about showing our resident turd-muffins all of the cool animals that they had only seen on television and in books before now. They were at least amused ( the kids ) and were not the least bit cranky. Keegan got to see her favorite, the crocodile, which we found quite by accident in the Manatee exhibit. Funny thing is that there were no sea cows in the exhibit - go figure.


Cherri and Cynthia did see a flock ( gaggle - peck - cluster? ) of lemurs. Now lemurs, generally speaking, don't really pop up on anyone's zoo radar but they certainly made these two folks' day. You see, there is a long running tale from an unnamed niece -TRACY- who lives in Florida and who is known to relay a funny story, the punch line of which is: Are you sure it wasn't a LEMUR?


In her honor I will post this rather poor picture of a LEMUR!



And yes we are sure that the sign said that they were lemurs.



Cute booger isn't it!





On the trip home I was dialing around the AM radio to find the news at the top of the hour when Cherri started repeating some of what was being said! She wasn't able to catch enough to make sense of what was being said but she caught lots of snippets!

She got pretty good at phone numbers and bits of the conversation. The cool thing was that, because of the type of show that we were listening to, she could not just 'figure out' what was being said. She had to take each word as an individual item which means SHE ACTUALLY HEARD !!! Love my baby, I am so proud of her!

Hear on girl!
