I was visiting John Ball Zoo in GR, MI. It probably holds the best cute guys. Some are troublemakers, too. I'm going to name a few. You know what, not a few, all of them. All of them. Which was four. I think. Just read what happened.

Ben
Ben was one of the zoo people, meaning he worked at the zoo. It was my first time zip lining, and he helped my friend put on her harness. My little sister didn't go zip lining, but I volunteered for her and Ben was watching, smiling. Some random dude took a picture of me from the ground. Anyway, when I got to the end, I waited for what seemed like forever for my sister. I finally was able to go on the next part, which was where Ben would catch you. My friend was stepped on by him and my mom nearly knocked him over. When I got to him, though, I landed right at his feet. I even had a conversation with Ben.
Ben: Hi! Did you enjoy the ride? *Lifting me up and unhooking me*
Me: It was a LOT of fun! (Mainly talking about him) *Smiling*
Ben: Does your harness feel tight? Loose?
Me: No, it feels fine. Thank you, though *Talking really high pitched because that's what I'm like when I see a cute guy*
Ben: Well, you have a great day and I hope to see you soon!
Me: Thanks, you too!

Guy in the black shirt
Ok, it might seem cheesy but it still happened. Now here's the story with the boy in the black shirt. Dunno his name.
I was petting stingrays with my friend. My sister didn't want to. I was petting the slimy creatures and my friend had a bad experience with them; with their fins, they would go above or around her hand so that they wouldn't be petted by her. She's still not over it. While she was talking about the stingrays that she named, two cute guys came up next to us to pet the stingrays. The one I'm talking about right now is the guy who wasn't RIGHT next to me, but next next to me. After we pet the stingrays, we went to the reptile exhibit. And who did we see? The guy in the black shirt and his friends/family. Me and my friend thought he was cute, so we both followed him like ninjas. A little later, still with the reptiles, my friend was having a staring contest with a tortoise. It was blinking earlier, but when she came to have a staring contest, it stopped blinking. The boy in the black shirt came up behind her to look at the tortoise. He noticed what she was doing and I think either told his friend or took a picture. I feel bad for forgetting. After he did that, I lifted her up. She obeyed. Then, at the end of the exhibit, there was a GIANT python in the corner for all to see. He was looking up at me for a second, then I looked up at him so we made eye contact. He smiled a little and went back to the python. Since I left my phone at home, I took my friend's phone and tried to take a picture of the boy in the black shirt. But it failed because he moved to where I was just standing. I couldn't be sneaky by taking a picture if him like that because then he'd think that something was up. We tried to follow him and his possey, but they'd already left. So, that's his story.

Guy in the blue shirt
The guy in the blue shirt was with the guy in the black shirt. He has pretty much the same story as the guy in the black shirt.
When we were petting stingrays, he came up right next to me. In the reptile exhibit, my friend had a pretty cool experience with him. And remember when I said 'troublemakers' at the beginning? He's sort of one.
When my friend was looking at the python, he was with his girlfriend. But then, when she wasn't around, my friend gave him a weird face, what she does all the time:
^__^
He did this:
;P
She loved that. And what makes it weird is that he already had a girlfriend and he winked at her. She was lucky enough to get a picture of him. He would occasionally smile at me, but not often.

The guy in the pink shirt
He doesn't need to be mentioned. He was very protective of his girlfriend.

Animals with attitudes
These aren't cute guys, but they're of animals at John Ball Zoo with attitudes.

Mr. Camel
My friend was having a staring contest with a camel. It was staring back at us for the longest time. After I gave up, my friend was having a staring contest with it and started trash-talking it. Here's where Mr. Camel had an attitude:
Friend: You're just a butt-face, aren't you, Mr. Camel?
Mr. Camel: *Staring*
Friend: You ever gonna blink? I dare you to blink, you butt-face!
Mr. Camel: *Nods head in acceptance to challenge*
Friend: *Laughing*

Grizzly bear
I'm just going to do the conversations with us and the animals now.
Bear: *Walking back and forth*
Friend: The grizzly bears 'hug' all the time. WHY ARE THEY DOING NOTHING LIKE BUTT-FACES?!?!?!?
Bear: *Walks down to where we are and whips head back after deciding not to eat us*

Grumpy, misunderstood gorilla
Me: Here's Grumpy Gorilla! The new Grumpy Cat! *Points to gorilla with pouty lower lip*
Friend: That's adorable. I'm taking a picture of it because it's misunderstood *takes phone out*
Gorilla: *Turns head away from adoring fans, mainly friend*

Skunk monkey
Me: What's over here? *Walks over to part I've never been to before*
Friend: *Sees skunk monkeys rubbing each other's bellies* I wanna take a picture of you! I love you!
Skunk monkeys: *Gives her a look like 'Yeah, no way'*
Friend: Oh, so you don't like me? I actually never loved you so ha! *Takes picture*

That's all! HOPE YOU LIKE :{D
