Bowling for Rhinos

On February 21, I participated in a bowling fundraiser with my fellow zoo keepers. Our team consisted of Jenny, Jill, Kelly, Shawn, Ethan and myself. Several other zoos and aquariums participated from all over Southern California. The event was held at Jewel City Bowl in Glendale. Of the two games we played, I won both of them. Yay for Wii Bowling! Anyways, the event raised $29,000 and the proceeds will go to the Lewa Wildlife Preserve in Africa to protect Rhinos and to help the local communities. It is truely a great cause!

Stuff and Stuff

The zoo has been in the paper recently. We have had 4 births in the past month. Pictures will be coming soon.
Sam came to visit in February. He looks good and it was great to see him. We went to Disneyland, but forgot our camera. I am hoping he will send me some of his pictures.
Joe got a new job. I'll let him blog about that, but I am pretty much a bachlorette for the month of March. He has lots and lots of training ahead of him.
And finally, February is over! Yay! It wasn't as bad as I though it would be. I had a few down days, but I am feeling pretty good now. I think I am ready to move forward and maybe try again. Hopefully third times a charm with this baby business.
