Zoo monkeys and their mommys

We decided to get some fresh air after a week of the flu so we left our little sanitarium and headed out for the zoo.  We got there at 3:30 only to find out they close at 4:00 now because they are preparing for Zoolights.  Well we ended up staying until 5:00 anyway and we were almost the last to leave.  It was beautiful, quiet and most of all... cool.  Nice.

Here is a darling picture I took of a mommy and baby inside the monkey forest.  Is that the sweetest little face or what?

Here's another cute little monkey baby and his mommy.  He has a cute face too (even with pretzel goo on his chin).

It was nice to leave the dishes, laundry, and sewing behind and get a change of scenery.

One thing I've been wondering is why do they call it a "sanitarium" when you know it's teeming with germs??   Hmmm....
