Roomie Reunion at Zoo Atlanta

Last Saturday we went to the Atlanta zoo and met Tommy, Carol Leah, and Thomas, and Dan and Trudy for a quick Roomies reunion. I don't think we've all been together since CL's wedding. To say the least, it's been far too long. The time passed too quickly and while our trip was short it was so much fun! The zoo alone was great, but the company so much better! Enjoy the pictures!

Thomas: Are you kidding me? This girl will NOT shut up! Mom, get me out of here!

Deep in the Outback, waiting for his prey. Grr.

At the Little People tables, Mommy needs a break.

Waiting for the train to go. Helen didn't want to sit still. Little T, however, was just glad he was getting to ride.

Helen riding the carousel. She was on the panda bear. She held on to the pole like she knew exactly what to do. She didn't make a fuss over it, but the expression on her face made it seem like she was blissful.

Helen petting a goat. Half hesitation, half fascination.

Helen very ineterested in the kangaroos.

I don't remember ever being this close to a kangaroo. The look so strange up close. Nothing like Kanga and Roo on Winnie the Pooh.

Contimplating the things of her world.

So this fella, I don't remember the type of monkey it was, had it's habitat in the middle of the entry to the Outback area. There was a part of the path roped off so that no one could pass under one certain tree where these fellas were sitting (in case one wanted to jump down on ya). We met the Hatfields just a few feet from their main area, but far enough away to be separated from the siteseers. Well, Helen was getting a little hungry and I pulled out some grapes for her and put them on her tray. I heard a squeal and thought nothing of it considering the fact we were in a ZOO! Not a second after I heard the screech, a zoo employee says, "Oh, the monkeys see some food! They love grapes and are making known they see it!" At that point I was glad there was a roped off portion of the pathway. Otherwise we may have been bombarded with monkeys after Helen's snack!

Trudy and Kristy, the best meerkats in the zoo.

Carol Leah and little T, the cutest meerkats at the zoo!

Where did Carol Leah go?

Helen: "Uh sat?" (What's that?) She was looking at the giraffe.

A goodbye kiss..... Helen still only interested in the giraffe.

The Roomies...Don't we look slim next to that elephant?
