To all those on flist who celebrate, Happy Easter! And Happy Passover!
Since Mini-Me started her Conservation Teen Scientist program at Zoo Miami, Hubby and I became members of the Zoological Society. We figured we were going to be spending a crazy amount of time at the zoo and we did yesterday. This weekend the zoo is having its annual Easter egg hunt called Egg Safari. For the weekend the picnic area is taken over by little ones wanting to hunt for Easter eggs. They split the kids up in age groups and literally corral them in sections. The kids have a couple of minutes to hunt for as many eggs as they can. That group leaves, the area is refreshed with more eggs, and the next group enters the ring. They also have slides, rock climbing, although since this is Florida it's palm tree climbing, booths for face painting, pictures with the Easter Bunny, and booths from various sponsors including Radio Disney.
The fun isn't reserved for just the human kids. The animals are given an 'Easter egg' of their own to tear into to find their treats.
It was a nice 75 degrees yesterday, but my arms still got burned - forgot the suntan lotion, but I did remember to bring my hat. Mini-Me ended up having to call security on some people who could not comprehend the words on the sign that read, "Please do not feed the animals." She tried to explain that the animals diets are specialized and popcorn is not on the menu.
I resubmitted my benchmark tests last week and I am happy to report that I received scores of a 100 and 98! I was told by the grader that the tests get harder. Great. As if these were not hard enough. I have my next bencmhark tests already transcribed, I just need to proofread them and do some research.
I'm thinking of doing a more detailed review of Oz The Great and Powerful, because since I've started to reread The Wonderful Wizard of Oz I realized why Oscar's transformation didn't seem complete. And it shouldn't have been complete. It becomes complete when Dorothy calls him out on his scam.
I ended up missing most of Doctor Who last night. My DVR didn't record the episode. We had some problems with the box a few weeks ago and it seemed to had corrected itself, but it decided to go wonky last night.
