Well we got all our sleeping bags together and headed to the zoo. We had pizza and lemonade for dinner. Then went for a night hike to see some nocturnal animals and hear some interesting stories about the animals. After the hike the girls all got together in the animal hall and got to see some critters up close and even got to pet a few of them! Back up to where we ate, we had a snack before we grabbed our gear and walked to the campsite. Where we had a huge tent set up for all of us. The staff came in and showed the girls how to make knots and even brought a few more animals with them. Afterwards the girls got to go sit around a camp fire and tell stories, sing songs and learn more about animals. You would think that the girls would be tired with the all the hiking etc but even though it was 11:00 they were all wide awake. Reminding them that they had to be up at 6:00am for breakfast before another hike we tried to get the girls to sleep. Around 12:00 they had all fallen asleep.
Some of us woke up to the Lions roaring at 3:00-5 in the morning. Up early the girls were the first in camp all cleaned, packed and dressed for the morning. They got to wander down and see the rhinos playing in the early morning. After breakfast the girls stored the gear, played a sleeping bag roll up game and headed towards their morning hike. By 9:00 the girls were ready to head home.
Everyone loved loved the zoo!
