Zoo Camp

Lauren also went to camp this summer.  She attended Zoo camp at the Sacramento Zoo.  She was there every day for one week from 0900-1600. It was right up her alley. She got to see the kinkajou, pet a snake, see a lion and snow leopard get their check-ups from the zoo vet, feed a bongo, and check out the owls, otters, and chimpanzees.

The kids also played games with their counselors.

Jacob, and Skylar, and I went to the zoo a little early one day to visit before it was time to pick up Lauren.  We happened to run into her and she gave Jacob a quick hug before running off to her next activity.

As she's planning on being a vet (or a dog trainer, she hasn't decided) someday, this was such a great experience for her. She loved it!  Unfortunately, for Mommy, I got my first parking ticket in years, maybe ever (?).  It's been 20 years since I've had a speeding ticket and I honestly don't remember if I've ever gotten a parking ticket before.  I always try to be very careful about that but this one was tricky.  I noticed in later days as I drove into the zoo to pick Lauren up that there was always a car parked in the same spot, with a ticket.  Perhaps that means it's not marked well enough and should be changed!

There is a "No Parking" sign but it's near the portion of the curb that is marked red.  I parked next to the non-red section in an area that had a parking space outlined.  Oh well, I guess I missed something!
