Well, to distract Ella from what's coming tonight, we go to the zoo.

We have the place to ourselves. I wonder why.

Ella's happy to be here, though.

Cute bird.

We stick to the covered walks and houses, like the gorillas - and are treated to a close-up because of it...

So cute!

Is that bongo licking his own back? Awesome.
You know who else can lick their own back?

Just kidding! It's Teté!

Ella's so happy to see her again.

They get right to playing. I didn't get many pictures, but we have a great evening.
