The Zoo Crew (Members Only!)






Tonight my Dad, Tony, Rylan, Alana and myself became the zoo crew. We went to the zoo on members only night to be some of the first ones to ride the new carosel. The zoo had special activities like temporary tatoos, crafts and special animal showings. There was also a bird show. The kids loved the bird show. They loved every minute of it. We saw a bunch of birds fly right over us, and even got to see a bird up close. Next we rode the train (which is always a hit) and then we made our way to the carosel. We lucked out and ended up being the first ones for the next ride on the carosel, so Rylan chose to ride the lady bug and Alana rode the Lion. (and no, I did not mix the two up...?????) The highlight for the kids this time was doing the crafts and getting tatoos. All of us enjoyed ourselves--espically the adults. It was just a relaxing, fun family time together! We thought that we might get rained out, but the weather ended up being great! Thanks crew for the awesome time at the zoo!

What fun pictures!

Charayne, this is Rachel the Usborne Book lady. You left a message on my phone while we were in Alaska and I must have written down your phone number wrong before I erased the message. Anyway, I've tried calling you back and I think I'm calling the wrong number. The number the on have for you on file is disconnected. Bottom line -- call me again please. 446-1381 or you can email me from my website www.bookwishlist.com Let's get that book replaced for you! Sorry to leave this comment on this blog -- it's the only way I could figure out how to get hold of you.
