Kid's Day 2007

What fun!!

My daughter and I both worked it this year. I wish I had more photos, but like a total moron I forgot an SD card for the A540 and didn't have time to run to the car for the S3 later.

Took this with my phone:

This is Katie, whom I would
not allow to get dry during her stint on the dunk tank!
I guess we are still friends.

I got to play Security Man!!

Haven't done that since my Army Days. Pretty fun. Wore me out by the end of the day though.

Scooter peddled hot dogs and chips most of the day. I really don't know how many people go through the zoo on this day, but it must be the equivalent of several winter months all in one day. A normal crowd is like 25 or so at Cat Tales and we must have shuttled 50 car loads an hour!!

Was so awesome being a part of the Zoo, instead of the spectator. Got to see some of the stuff behind the fences, too. Got to know the Keepers better (see pic.

) and just had a great time.

Also, I got invited to come in sometime in the near future early and I will be given my own Zoo Keeper escort for a couple hours. During this time I will be able to shoot the animals inside the first fence, right at the second fence. YAY!!! No fencing in my shots!!! I plan to shoot at least 400 or 500 shots!!!

I am beat now though. Haven't work an honest day in years!!

Seems you'd been waiting for that day a long time. Good of you to help out in your free time. Just wait until you get back in with your privileges. That camera is gonna have a worn out shutter.

Now where's those pics of the wet T shirt.

Mike, one of the directors, told me to email him as he video recorded L.J. going in. L.J. is now staff and technically exempt from the dunk tank, but I offered the directors $20 for three balls if they got her up there.

I bet she had some words after that

Its a pity that offer wasn't taken up. Money to a good cause and the video to the "Wide Eyed Boys"

Hell we'd probably pay $20 to watch it.

Knowledge Talks, Wisdom Listens.

What do you think the video is of? Took me all three balls throwing into the sun!

I guess you were distracted.

Sounds like a really good day G...and great to have so many people come through the Zoo. Can't wait to see the photos when you get to go back.
