Trip to the zoo

WEDNESDAY

I took my group of kids (the ones who didn't go golfing) to the zoo. There were only 6 kids from my group and about 15 total, the rest of them coming from the 5 to 6 year old group. There were enough staff on hand so each only needed to keep track of 3 little ones and so we set out. Like a good counselor, I slept on the ride there. Once there, we realized it was blistering hot. Not good. Little ones were getting tired real fast and kept calling out for lunch breaks, bathroom breaks, sno ball breaks about every five minutes. Overall they did pretty well and I managed to take a couple hundred pictures that hopefullly, I will be able to use at the end of the summer in my paperwork for camp.

Things I particularly like:
- Gorilla running around with garbage on his head.
- Orangutan helping baby orang climb onto a log.
- Kids reaction to peacocks walking around the zoo
- Sheer fright of the toughest kid in my group when walking through the reptile house and the animatronic dinosaur exhibit.
- Spraying kids with water from my Camelbak. Ensuing amazement from kids.

Here be pictures:
