Another warm, near-spring day perfect for the zoo. Des began by running alongside the penguins.

After lunch when it was usually time for a nap, Des still had energy in him for a lap around the jungle to see all the monkeys. He kept signing “more” 🙂

All the toys, all lined up. And dad answering endless “and dis??” quizzing by reciting names of each animal.
