09/24/09 - More Shots and a Great Find at the Zoo

We were off to get more shots, this time Hepatitis B. We go back in one month for part 2 of the Hep B shot and then sometime after February for part 2 of the Hep A shot and part 3 of the Hep B shot - unless of course we've traveled by then!!!!

Then it was on to the Milwaukee Zoo, one of our favorite places to visit. There is always something new to see. This time it was two new tiger cubs born on July 8th of this year, the hyenas, the bears being more active than we've ever seen them, and this book in the gift store! We fell in love with little Mahal, a baby orangutan, last spring when he arrived at the Zoo. His mother was not able to take care of him and the zookeepers were looking for an adoptive mother for him. (Can you tell why we like him so much!?) They decided to try MJ, a female orangutan who had no children of her own and lives at the Milwaukee Zoo. And the rest, they say, is history! This cute book tells the story and of course we had to buy it!!
