Camp Nana - Ellen Trout Zoo

On Monday, Camp Nana took us on a field trip to the Ellen Trout Zoo in Lufkin. Caleb, the honorary schedule-maker, was quick to inform us that we would be riding the train first. We then had a picnic lunch (complete with a stalker goose) and then a tour of the zoo facilities. Ellen Trout Zoo is FANTASTIC for the younger age crowd. It was almost unbearably hot, but since there is a lot of shade and the zoo is on the smaller side, we still got to see it all before we melted. The highlight of the day was when the hippo swam right up the the plexi-glass where we were seated and getting to see the million baby peacocks.

Zoo day was fun. And it let us see that Caleb is an event planner in training! And Cole enjoyed it all.

I haven't actually been inside the zoo, but we have done the train ride a few times

I want a peacock to sit on my picket fence at Windy Hill.
