I woke up this morning knowing it would be the last morning at Camp Arrowhead. After breakfast, we completed our last service project for Josh and Jared. We then said our goodbyes and piled into the van where we headed back to Springfield. It was such a lovely day today and the weather was perfect for a picnic which we had at a park right outside of the zoo. While trying to stick closely to the schedule, we arrived at the zoo right on time for our "Behind the Scenes" tour. Talking to the zookeepers of different units was such a great experience. Just being able to see what a regular day at the zoo was like for both the animals and the zookeepers gave me a greater sense of appreciation for the animals and the people that take care of them. I was extremely impressed with the medical facility for the animals and was excited to know that the caretakers go through great lengths to make sure the animals are well. As the day came to an end, we finally arrived at Arc of the Ozarks, our new home for the rest of the week.
