E Who?



This emu was the highlight of our trip to the zoo on Saturday. It was a gorgeous day, and we wanted, no... needed to get out of the house. So we walked to the zoo. (Isn't it cool that we live within walking distance of a world-class zoo?!

It was a fun day, always lots to see at the zoo. Baby chimps, a baby seal, a wombat who was actually awake, and this emu. This emu apparently gets the run of the place, because he was just strolling around like he owned the joint. He got alarmingly close, considering his height and creepy eyeballs. And then he followed me for several meters, getting closer and closer... until I freaked out and ran away, shrieking like a girl. In the moment, it was a little scary. But looking back, it was pretty funny. Ah the zoo... always a good time.
