Monkeying around at the ZOO!!

Zachary Fusser, Junior Zookeeper, reporting for duty!

Concentrating on the animals... and my rice krispy treat!

Petting the goat! (Or as I called it, "kitty!")

Forget the goat... meet Heaven!

(I got her autograph, so when she's a porn star in 20 years, I can prove that I knew her way back when!)

Watching the otters with Daddy...

Slippery ... just like a real hippo!

Ahhhhhh.... the drinking fountain was SO refreshing!!!

My Great Ahntee Suz gave me the coolest birthday gift -- a family pass to the LA Zoo!! (And an adorable "Junior Zookeeper" ensemble as well!) Today was our maiden voyage to the Zoo, and boy did I have a GREAT time! We first went the petting zoo ... although I must admit I was more into the GIRLS there than the goats or sheep. (I met a girl named "Heaven" ... what WERE her parents thinking?!) My favorite animals were the giraffes (there's a baby giraffe there -- she is a HUGE baby at 5 1/2 feet tall!!!) and the monkeys... I had fun playing on the playground and splashing in the water fountain as well. I can't wait to go back!!!
