Interview and random things....

So I interviewed for the volunteer position at the zoo on the 19th.  It was a group interview where we had to do several activities such as explaining a difficult question to a child.  My picture looked like this:

So I said I would tell the preschooler that they were just hugging really tightly.


We also had to describe an animal fact to a child with a lot of questions.  I talked about the length of a giraffe tongue.  18 inches and how they used their tongue to reach the leaves on really high branches of trees.  Also the black tongue prevents the tongue from getting sunburned while eating and being out of the mouth so often.


Then we had to explain a random object and 2 safety issues that may arise from it.  I talked about the bungee cord and how you had to be careful when using it because it can snap back and hit you or someone else in the face.  Also do not wrap it around your neck or any body part because it can get pulled on and tighten.


Well I found out that I got the volunteer position as an animal contact aid.  I will be working in the goat yard, at the giraffe feedings and helping at the camel rides.


Oh my hubby and I decided to get a green thumb and bought an upside-down tomato plant and some seeds for zinnia and bluebonnets.  So far we have seedlings for the zinnia and the tomato plant and only a few seedlings for the bluebonnets.

Well thats it for  now....I have training starting next saturday for the volunteer position.
