wildlife park, BMX

Hi gang,

I'm booking a field trip to the BC wildlife park out of Kamloops for Wed., Oct. 15 at 11 am. The park is 1/2 hour from Falkland, so 1 hr from Vernon. The program will be 1.5 hours and called Saving our Species. There's info about the programs on the website at www.bczoo.org. They guarantee animal encounters! It will be $5 or $6 dollars per child I think. I have to know numbers by Oct. 1. There's lots to see at the park, including 2 grizzly bears and lots of injured owls and eagles etc.. They are really into conservation and rehabilitation etc. - I think it's a pretty ethical and important place for BC wildlife (well, there are a few exotic faces too - camels and monkeys). The orphaned baby deer are really sweet.


Also, wondering if anyone wants to go to the BMX park on Friday, Sept. 19.

This sounds great! We would love to go. (I guess we will just have to miss our swim lesson that day)

We also love the BMX track. Do you mean the one in Vernon? If so we'll join you!

Excellent - Lyn and Michael will come too. I was thinking 1:00 but maybe we'll grab some lunch and then arrive there at noon to eat. Then there's time before school is out and the big kids arrive. Or do people want to go earlier? Zane and Linda will meet us after 2:30 because Zane is in school now.
And yes, the one in Vernon.

We'd love to come to the BMX track next week. And I think we can make it to the wildlife park, too.
