Day 2 - Animal Junction

Have you ever seen Zoboomafoo on Sprout? My daughter and I love that show -- I think there are a total of 16 or so episodes and we've seen them all. Well, if you are not familiar, there's this Lemur, see. His name is Zoboomafoo, Zob for short. He talks, but only after he has had his Lemur snack, something like a garbanzo bean.

All of this takes place in Animal Junction, where all kinds of animals play together. You never know what can happen there (unless you happen to have seen all the episodes several times). At the end of the show, the last line of their theme song urges, "go make an animal friend today - YEAH!"

That is what we did today -- made some new animal friends. My little girl attended a birthday party and there were tons of animals there. Ponies, chickens, a rooster, dogs. And then, inside, two cats, a bunny, a ferret or two, box turtles, fish, guinea pigs. So the kids' "first" today was to pet a ferret and a guinea pig. We also learned a little about box turtles. The male box turtle has orange or red eyes and the female has brown eyes.

Honorable mentions for other firsts: My daughter participated in her first obstacle course and her first water balloon fight.

A good time was had by all!
