The Garden – Where Gnomes Live in Peace.

Have you ever wanted to pet a bunny, but they’ve all been too fast for you? Ever wanted to pick up a baby chicken, but been squawked at by the mother chicken? Then come down to the zoo this week at some point! Sorry to sound like an infomercial there. Today at the zoo, I got to watch over the bunnies at the zoo today. Although, it was REALLY hot outside, so, unregretably, I stayed inside most of the day. Mom, Dad, please don’t yell at me. Well, at least I didn’t have to get in the K’Zoo outfit. (Mom, don’t say anything. The little kids who like K’Zoo might be listening……..)

Well, today was MUCH more eventful than day one. That is because today, I actually got to do something! YAY!!!!!! *ahem* Anyway, today was spent mostly in the aquarium, and near the penguin habitat. Today I had what is called an “activity table”. Basically, what it is, is a little station where kids (and adults, sometimes) can try something that has to do with a certain animal in the zoo. Golden rule of activity tables; set your table up near the animal the activity coincides with. If you don’t, you’re gonna be low on business. I’m gettin’ off topic. Today’s activity in the aquarium was Go Fish! Literally, the kids had to see how many fish they could get out of this giant tub using tongs in under a minute. It was pretty fun to watch groups of kids fight over the fish, just like pelicans, or sharks. As soon as my time was up at that table, I got shifted to the penguin activity table. In this one, the kids had to “waddle like a penguin” with a little plastic “egg” in between their feet. It was harder than it looks, as I tried it and subsequently failed it. After that, whether the kid succeded or not, they got to make a fingerprint penguin! Rock on!!! Anyway, that was pretty much what happened today. Nothing really out of the ordinary. Not yet, anyway…..DUN DUN DUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Stay tuned…

This is the begining of a week long series, that’ll be encomposing my experience of volunteering at the Fort Wayne Children’s Zoo. However, nothing will be posted today, as today was a training day, and nothing really out of the ordinary happened. Look for something tommorow….
