The zoo had groundhog activities, which Juss loved, especially the one where you went around to the exhibits and found out whether certain animals were relatives or predators of groundhogs. It was all North American animals. We loved seeing the wolves, the lynx, the mountain lion, the magpie and the prairie dogs (a relative!), the nocturnal desert exhibit — that was really cool! And the bears, which you could see quite close.
Well, imagine our surprise and delight when, while we were admiring the beautiful wolves, who should come up to the wolf exhibit, but my friend Sharon and her family! My husband was so amazed and confused that I knew someone in Pennsylvania! He was even more amused to find out that it was the friend from home who had told us about the zoo being free this weekend. He thought if we had planned to meet, we surely would not have found each other so easily. What are the chances that we’d both pick the same day, same time, and meet at the wolves!
In the car on the way up and down, we read aloud The Mystery of Mr. Nice, a Chet Gecko, Private Eye mystery. We love Chet Gecko. Orville even has his own Edarian version, Segallion Rapscallion. Chet solved the mystery in the time we had and we all enjoyed discussing the clues.
Glad you had a good time!
Dead out tired here or we might have joined you.
Autumn and I did the Hershey mini ride some years ago. She liked it very much!

Sounds like all of you had a wonderful time at Hershey!! Cool!!:D My mom and I had gone to the Amish Country & Hershey when I was in 8th grade. I remember going on the ride through the chocolate-making process, and I remember bringing back a bunch of Hershey’s miniatures for my classmates.^_^ I love how in Hershey the streetlights are shaped like Hershey’s Kisses.:D
Happy Birthday to Juss!!:D

“Well, imagine our surprise and delight when, while we were admiring the beautiful wolves”
A few years ago my family came out to visit in Colorado. One of our stops was the Denver Zoo. Unfortunately, the wolves were hiding that day, and my brother had been looking forward to it all day. I called up one of my friends, who volunteers at this wolf refuge (she’s a vet tech in the Army). She called up the owner and got us in to see the wolves! The look on my brother’s face as he was petting a wolf was priceless.
A little bit about the wolf refuge. They take wolves that people once tried to keep as pets and later abandon them. These wolves cannot live in the wild, because they do not know how. However, they are still wild animals so they cannot live in people’s backyard either. Chinook, the first wolf, was practically near death when she was rescued.
