Zoo Members

For the seventh time, Sam and I visited the Queens Zoo yesterday and enjoyed ourselves immensely. We are now proud members of the Zoo. Sam really wants to go home, but going out to the Park and the Zoo is the next best thing. We've gotten into a pattern of visiting the feeding/petting part of the zoo first and then going onto the main zoo area just in time for the sea-lion feeding at 4:00pm. I realize that some people are scared of wheelchairs and so I manage to get Sam a good spot for watching the feeding, by just pushing our way through and scaring the little kids and parents along the way. It is great to be outside and for Sam to be stimulated by all of the activity. In the meanwhile, I am building-up my muscles every weekend by pushing Sam in the wheelchair and together we are learning a lot about our future together. I am hoping to have the house ready for Sam's first home visit right around her birthday on July 30th, but there is a lot to be done beforehand in order to meet that goal. Overall Sam is making progress and is working hard in therapy.
