Tuesday, June 30

Today, as I worked at the zoo, the mood was somber. The loss of our director was not only unexpected but also a blow to the zoo community. Mr. Swanagan was such a passionate leader who told us at each meeting that we needed to "touch the heart to teach the mind". Our hearts go out to his family at this difficult time. Because the weather was so nice today, we decided to go to the zoo for the afternoon. Both sets of grandparents, along with Trish took Luke for a most enjoyable visit to the #1 zoo in America. We all had a great time!
