Saturday we managed to sneak in some family time in between Paul's Blackberry's incessant ringing. We made our way to Happy Hollow petting zoo in San Jose. They were having an all-you-can-eat ice cream party, all rides and animal petting included. Turns out they shut down the ice cream booths early, so we didn't quite get all we could eat. But it was still pretty fun. Reece touched a lot of goats, donkeys, horses, sheep and cows. He also spent quality time with exotic parrots and guinea pigs. A good time was had by all.
So the goats kind of stampeded while we were in the pen. Reece held his own pretty well and didn't lose any fingers.
Reece has this adorable fake-ish laugh. When he's excited or surprised he curls his arms in to his chest and giggles, then my heart melts.
Other pictures that would have been great: Reece took his first carousel ride...and hated it. He rode the alligator but really wanted the monkey but didn't decide until it was too late. Then he saw his dad standing by the ride and tried to jump off to get to him. The funniest part was that as soon as we got off the ride, Reece pointed at the ride and growled, as if telling his dad, "Yeah, I conquered that ride." So he talks big, but he was just a big baby on the actual ride.
Its probably best that Reece didnt ride the monkey, you wouldnt have been able to tell which was Reece and which was the ride. If you cant tell I'm trying to say that Reece really looks like some sort of monkey, you know with the tail and all.
I don't think you should encourage comparisons between Reece and monkeys, if you don't point out the similarities someone somewhere might not notice how much like a monkey he really looks.
Kyle, that's why we're so lucky he has you for an uncle. Who else loves him enough to make derisive comments on his looks? I guess the comments could be positive, depending on the monkey. That carousel monkey, however, was not cute.
I think we should distinguish between a "Reece Monkey" (i.e. adorable, sweet, sometimes poopy) and a "Rhesus monkey" (i.e. not so adorable, not really that sweet, throws poop).

Kyle, you forgot to mention that you'd be a monkey's uncle.
