Back With A Vengance [The Missing Week] 

Friday, June 26th-Saturday, July 4th, 2015

 

Finally, at long last, I was home.  After my fun surprises for my family yesterday, and my amazing surprise dinner with Sabrina, it was finally Friday, an entire day I could spend relaxing…  Sound to good to be true?  It was.  Not long after waking up I was asked to come into the zoo to work and help with shows because they were low on people.  I am a sucker for helping people.

After a day back at the zoo visiting my animal friends, it was VACATION TIME!

Lunch at “Teddy’s” in Oshawa with my dad and brother, Jayden. Some good food after my truckstop diet.
 
Saturday morning we drove up to my cottage on Balsam Lake, where I got to have a ridiculously fun remainder of my week.  I got to spend time with my family, some of my best friends, and the kayak.  

Sabrina, Griffen, and Quinn came up to make my time at home even more fun!

  

After driving home Thursday evening, I got to spend one more relaxing night with Sabrina, enjoying some of the comforts of home, such as:  vegetables, wi-fi, and smells other than animal.  Yesterday we had a full day back at the zoo packing up and getting ready to go, making a few changes to our animal roster.  As well as sadly leaving our lion cub back at the zoo with her siblibgs, we also switched out Ace the baboon with Sammy.  By last night around 8 we were on the road, driving all the way back west, for more adventures, more fun, and also an online psychology course I just started… I’ll be busy for sure! 
I  already missing everyone, but august will be here soon enough!
