'More Owl!!!"

Graham and I enjoyed a nice morning together at the zoo. The weather is near 40 degrees today which is fabulous. Yes, 40 degrees in a Minnesota winter does qualify as being fabulous! At the suggestion of a few of our friends, we decided to check out the 'World of Birds Show', something we've never done before. The show is about 3o minutes long and I worried that it wouldn't hold Graham's attention for that long. Boy, was I wrong! As the large hawks flew very close to our heads, Graham was extremely entertained. He was also very impressed by the talking parrots, although now I'm wondering if he assumes all birds can hold a real conversation. His favorite though, was a giant owl. I didn't know it made such an impression on him until he decided to announce it to the entire auditorium. The host of the show had the audience clap for the owl, then it flew off stage. The room got quiet as the trainers got ready to bring out the next bird, and Graham chose that exact moment to yell at the top of his lungs "More Owl!!!" Much to Graham's dismay, the owl did not reappear, but Graham's request did get the audience, and trainer, laughing.

Waving to other guests at the bird show. He has a mouthful of milk here, and he was threatening to spit it out....that explains the goofy look on his face!
