Greg and I were just lamenting the fact there is no zoo near us to take Emery too. Louisville's Zoo wasn't big but it was close, clean, and very nicely done.
Looks like you and the girls had an amazing time! I can't believe how big they are. I hope they remember their Aunt Meesh.

I'm thinking you could have just told them it was a yak :)
