Day 123---Saturday

This is our group---recognize the shirts?
We had 13 Brownies and 4 Juniors---everyone in the troop got to go! We had 8 adults with us, too, which was wonderful.

One of the highlights for us was B getting to feed the giraffe. The Mom of one of our Brownies had a personal connection to someone who worked for the zoo. They were college roommates. Anyway, she took us behind the Africa exhibit and saw a few of the animals close up we fed this giraffe some carrots. An extra priveledge! Isn't that a long tongue?

Day 122---Friday

This is the trip to the Cameron Park Zoo in Waco, TX. B's Girl Scout troop got to go on the cookie money they raised. This was a fabulous trip!!!

I was really hoping that this picture would come out. :-) I was trying to show the beautiful aquarium, so I didn't use a flash.

Here you can see how the girls got to asleep in the aquarium building. They laid out their sleeping bags on the floor right in front of the big aquarium window. We grown-ups slept sort of behind them against the other wall, which had smaller aquariums in it. On air mattresses!

There were so many interesting things we did on Friday night, I'll be doing a full blog post about it on the other blog. :-)
