Say hello to Mr. DeBrazza's Monkey. He resides at the Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle.
Yesterday, I guess he decided that he didn't quite like his
new digs and made a run for it.
At about 10:30am he swam his moat, climbed an electrified wall and escaped into the zoo.
Can you guess who else was at the zoo at 10:30am?
"Um. Mommy? Did I just see what I think I just saw?"
"Dat monkey's got another thing comin' if he thinks
he's gonna lay a paw on my ice cream samwich!"
We didn't really see him, although we were in his vicinity.
They kicked everyone out of the zoo while they tracked him down, tranquilized
him and returned him to his Monkey House. All in all, it took about an hour.
After the drama, it was back for more zoo fun with
our preschool buddies.
"Mmmm. Grapes. Do gorillas like grapes?"
"Sorry, gorilla. I ate 'em all. Sticks are all you
got left."
Katie and her buddies,
communing with the hippos.
