• Prep Time: 30 mins
• Inactive Time: 0 mins

Ingredients:

• 1 peacock, free range preferred
• 1 golden lion tamarin monkey, stirred, not shaken

• splash of polar bear bertums
• pinch of baby hair

Directions:

On a cool, not cold, morning, head on out to the local zoo. After rummaging around for fresh, organic monkey bait (i.e. cereal, crackers, etc.), use the monkey bait to lure a golden lion tamarin monkey to the edge of the enclosure; acquire monkey for stew. Catch a feisty peacock, then head on over to the duck pond. Throw all of the ingredients into the duck pond and stir. Simmer until toddler finally passes out. Serve with rice.

Since Adalyn can't read, the "Do Not Touch Animals" sign is obviously not for her.

These monkeys put the spider in spider monkeys.

Apparently this monkey knows what a cracker looks like (the cracker was a snack for Adalyn, not for the monkey). Adalyn liked this monkey so much that we got her a stuffed version of this crazy guy for her birthday.

Uh oh, these turtles must have seen Adalyn's cracker, too! It just took them forever to get to the fence.

If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, it must be Adalyn.

Adalyn perfects her duck call.

Adalyn is excited that she finally caught the attention of one...make that two...uh oh, now three...

Da dun...da dun...uh oh! The duck makes an escape as it hears the Jaws theme song, which is never a good thing.

This polar bear understands what Tocktober is all about...polar bear tocks.

The peahen is mightier than the swarm of people.

WARNING...peamommy and peabebehs crossing.

Last, but not Least Pictures:

You're traveling through another dimension...a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind. A journey into a wondrous land whose boundaries are that of imagination. That's a signpost up ahead...your next stop: the Peeking Zone!

Who knew that watching Sesame Street was the equivalent of riding an emotional roller coaster. Elmo's in the scene...YAY! Elmo leaves the scene..."WHERE'D ELMO GO?!?!" Thankfully, this is a happy scene.
