Our second visit to the Popcorn park zoo

As promised, we were back to the Popcorn Park zoo with friends this time. Our family friends from Atlanta visited us this fall. Anika, their young daughter was excited at the mention of the zoo by Gia and so we decided to visit the zoo again.

Being hardly twenty-five minutes from our house this place was a hidden gem until we discovered it a few months back. We grabbed our bags and off we went.

Looking at the zoo's rescue animals always reminds me of the goodness of people who care for these abandoned / injured / sick animals. It is a lesson that we all can learn and surely teach our own children - The value of empathy !

The once rejected animals are now a source of joy for all who visit the zoo.

Clifford visits Gia's home

Hello everybody, I am Gia's friend Clifford.

Gia ! I can't wait to visit you this weekend. Whoa, I got to spend four days at Gia's house this week. Gia and grandma took me home from school on thursday. Oh, what a nice day it was. Gia introdoced me to everone in her house including her Pooh bear, Mickey and even the Snow-white. I was so glad to see them all. I also got to see the naughty bunny rabbit that lives close-by and eats all the vegetables that grandpa plants.

Gia loves dancing and singing so we danced in the evening and at night time Gia made my bed so I could sleep tight.

Next day I went to see Gia's friends - Alex and Robbie. We carved pumpkins together for Halloween. That night we wnet to eat out at Houlihan's. I loved the pasta and beans. The chocolate cake and vanilla ice-cream were so yummy.

Saturday morning Gia's mom made us some strawberry pancakes. Umm.. delicious ! We played all day and in the evening we had some guests over for dinner.

Sunday is grocery shopping day. We went to Bj's with Gia and mom. We got a lot of stuff for the whole week. Wow ! the entire trunk was full of goodies.

It's Monday today and I have to go back. Gia is sad that I have to leave but I promised her that I will be back again soon.
