Uneo

A few weeks ago we went to Ueno Zoo with Maryl to celebrate Ashley's birthday. It was well worth the trip to Tokyo.

It was all fun and games until Abby became the most sought after animal in the zoo. The following pictures show the slow and steady steps into chaos.

First she was spotted by two school girls as she attempted to kick it with the zebra.

Then they called over their friends for a meet and great.

Then the touching and photo shoot began.

Next came the encircling, curl touching, claustrophobic smiling.

Cue mad dash to safety.
