The monkeys were swinging from branches and making silly faces. Reese giggled as one monkey tried to mimic her. Emmerson imagined what it would be like to swing like a monkey. Grandpa shared a story about a monkey he met on a trip long ago. Everyone laughed and moved on to the next exhibit.

Monkey Mischief

Katie spread out a blanket for lunch near the giraffes. As they ate, a curious giraffe bent down to say hello. Reese squealed with delight and offered it a leaf. Aunt Kari captured the moment with her camera. Uncle Peter wondered aloud if giraffes liked peanut butter sandwiches.

Lunchtime Surprise

In the birdhouse, they met an old owl. The owl seemed to wink at Reese, who waved back. Grandpa said the owl reminded him of himself, wise and a bit sleepy. Emmerson imagined the owl telling stories to other animals at night. They all agreed it was time for a sweet treat.
