Four hours at the zoo


Jack was not ready to leave the zoo yesterday after four hours! Emma and Jenny met us at 10:30 and we set out for Grizzlie Gulch, which is full of wildflowers, a pond, a waterfall, and of course, the two young bears. Jack loved sitting on the bear statue and pretended that the bear was walking to Chenery Street. We saw warthogs, peacocks, swans, a rhinoceros, a hippopatemus, and of course the goats in the farm. We rode the carousel and then started towards the exit. But Jack wanted to go to the giraffe house, so we said good-bye to our friends and sat eating a snack in the empty giraffe barn. Jack fell asleep on the way home and slept for two hours on Mommie's bed.

Today, Jack got a surprise from Nana--a Playmobil man with a compressor and a jackhammer. He has a red hard hat and tiny ear muffs. At the end of the day, Jack could not quite believe he got to keep "Turkey" and his equipment. All the other working people took a turn at the jackhammer and Chew taught Turkey how to drive the logging truck.
