Hi! It's Jess again! You know, the "writing/math nut". Yesterday, I went to the Zoo. It was generally a great trip. Now, I don't want to bore you with details, but I have so much to say...
At first, I didn't want to go to the Zoo because I felt ever since last year that a curse lingered around it. (I'll tell you about what happened there some other time.) It turned out to be a generally fun trip. There were two slight setbacks, though. See, the first was that one of the volunteers arrived late, and we had to search the entire park to find her.
Then we visited the Reptile House. I loved watching the green striped snakes. (I love anything that's colorful.) Mrs. Farooqui is terrified of snakes, so she stayed behind. Later, we took a visit to the bird house, and that's when I finally decided to cheer up. Mrs. Farooqui went with me and we insisted on looking at every single bird there. Since my favorite one is the Victoria Crowned Pigeon, we admired it for what seemed like forever. We loved the perriwinkle spikes on the top of his head.
Later, at Red Rocks, we looked for what seemed like an eternity at the giraffes. Then we went to everyone's favorite place, the penguin and Puffin house. The penguins were so close that we could almost touch them! One of them was posing for us!!! The one thing we couldn't understand was the fact that there was a duck in with the puffins! It was sooo funny!
On the way back to the bus, we passed the prarie dogs. There was that same peacock on the rock that we had seen three times. Each time we had passed it, it had posed for us as if to say, "Don't pay attention to the prarie dogs, pay attention to me!"
We called it a total show-off.
The second setback was that the bus arrived late to pick us up, so we had to sit out in the 90-degree weather for another 10 minutes!
Well, I guess I learned two things from this experience. One: Peacocks really are as proud as people say they are, and Two: Just because there was a minor setback at the very beginning of your trip, that doesn't mean the whole thing will be a disaster. All's well that ends well!!!!!!
Ciao for now(one of my favorite book characters says that),
