In July our church took a group of students who were entering or exiting 5th grade to the Nashville Zoo for a spend-the-night zoo encounter and some special treatment! It was a lot of fun and I am so glad that I was able to go with Keagan. It was a great time learning about the zoo's conservation efforts, seeing new baby animals in their animal hospital, and seeing some of God's amazing creations!! It was a fun experience to view the zoo through a Christian perspective, talking about the animals and how they were created with a specific purpose. It really gave going to the zoo a different spin and I thoroughly enjoyed that!
