So, today, as usual, Ben and Ashley both worked. Ashley worked at the zoo again with pre-vacation adventures. Unfortunately, they didn't do very much...Ashley got in trouble from 3 different people for something she didn't even do! Someone at a birthday party said that she told them they could not go through the gift shop
to get in and out of the zoo...something she didn't do and in Ben's opinion, not a very big deal, but whatever...




On a brighter note, all of the pre-vacation adventures kids like Ashley a LOT more than the other staff member and all wanted to hang out with her when they had to choose who to go with when they were at the petting zoo...




Anyway, today Ben did not get much done at the arboretum because it was too windy (these frogs don't come out much when it is windy for some reason), but he did get some pictures of a cockatoo that was fairly close to him (see below) and that was very cool.


After the arboretum, Ben did his programming thing (as usual after the hour or so at the arboretum) until it was time to pick up Ashley...we then did the exciting usual Wednesday evening task: measuring tadpoles!




Sorry nothing too exciting, but hey--there's a neat picture :)




Goodnight,


Ben & Ashley




Here's the Cockatoo...not sure what kind, but isn't it cool?



Here's a picture of Stumpy, one of our froglets (note his deformed leg...)
