Mother's Day at the ZOO

Momma Ceph decided she wanted to spend Mother's Day at the 'World Famous Topeka Zoo' where Lil' Karl could experience such wonders as the Gorilla Encounter and the tropical rain forest.

He saw all sorts of birds, a sleeping sloth, otters and a crocodile.

The gorilla took some time to come over to the window, sit next to Lil' K and then rest her hand on the glass next to his head. She was looking right at him and appeared to have a maternal interest in his well being. The world just sort of stopped for about two or three minutes as the gorilla and Lil' K shared a quiet and intimate moment. A moment in time I will never forget.

After that, we took a ride on the train around Gage Park. Lil' K just couldn't believe all the wondrous sites. Even though the day was bit warm, he never let it flag his enthusiasm. What a trooper!
