Zoo Night


We had a fun time at the zoo last night, helping our friend, Danielle's, teen group raise money for their Costa Rica trip. We got to meet Jungle Jack Hanna. Silas wasn't really impressed but we were!



Silas was impressed however with the snake's ooky, spooky tail when it moved.


Mason got a kick out of holding the snake.


My favorite was Pokey the Sloth. He was really funny to watch.
He moved like he'd been smoking some wacky tobaccy.


Ella really liked the snake too though you can't really tell
that from the picture...
This was Ross, one of the new cheetahs at the zoo.


We also got to go on a night walk of the zoo - it's a spooky place at night! We saw some of the animals in North America, the Discovery Reef and then some fun stuff at the Education building (like a hedge hog, baby gators, a porcupine, an aardvark (really strange looking things!) and some other fuzzier animals too.

That's so cool that you guys got to meet Jack. I just watched him on some Good Morning show on monday while we were sitting in the hotel. He had a cheetah with him also. I think that was the one. It seemed that you all had a good time.

WAS GLAD TO SEE THAT THE KIDS WEREN'T THAT SCARED OF THE WEIRD STUFF.
I USED TO WORK IN A SMALL NATURE MUSEUM IN HIGH SCHOOL(MAYBE JP REMEMBERS GOING THERE WITH US OR GRANDMA) AND IT WAS GREAT FUN AND EDUCATIONAL AT THE SAME TIME.
