"Can I go in the cage & play?" HUH????

Ila's idea of enjoying the zoo



After feeding the giraffes, we all needed a potty break. As I went to take Charlie to the bathroom with me, he darted into the MEN'S restroom!! It was difficult not to dash in after him. . .but then the thought of other men standing at the urinals (Yuck!) helped me gain some self-control. So I just stood at the door and tried to coach him out the door. . .I succeeded only after he went potty it the urinal, got as much soap on his hands as a little boy could ever dream (the foam kind, too), rinsed & rinsed & rinsed & rinsed his hands again, & took full advantage of the electric dryers. At least he got the order right! For the record, this is only one reason why someone created leashes for children.

I love the pictures. Sooooooooo jealous that I couldn't be there. Glad you had a good time.
Char sure has a mind of his own.

Looks like a great time was had by all. What Zoo did you go to? I'm glad nothing bad happened to Charlie in that mens bathroom, and that he did a super good job washing his hands. Thanks to your great teaching Tanya. :-)
