ZOO PICTURES



A few days ago I went to a sleepover and the next morning my bro's school was going to Austin Zoo and my mom said I had to go so I went and got some good pictures but now I dont have my camera. Here are some pictures I found online...

Lately I have noticed that when little kids get hurt it takes them exactly 10 -5 seconds before they start to react. Some examples are when my friend's little sister got pegged in the stomach during a soccer game. Another example is when a small girl at the zoo tripped and fell down. Finally and example of this is when I wiped out = Crashed into a car on my skateboard when trying to talk to my bro. I have wondered why it is like this. I have done some research and here is what I found .... There are three steps after someone is hurt.

• Shock – this is where there is difficulty believing in what has happened. For a short time, the person may be physically frozen in place and unable to respond.
• Distress reaction – once the reality of the situation has sunk in, there is a state of high alert. Responding to a distressing or frightening event requires vast amounts of physical and mental energy.
• Let-down – after the crisis is over, exhaustion may become obvious. Emotional reactions to the event are usually felt during the let-down phase. These three events seem to take 10 - 5 seconds

Yesterday I got back from some relatives' house we had a great time. We went to a Greek food festival that had outstanding Gyro ( a Greek food with meat wrapped in pita) they also had some good dancing and music and some weird dancing. Later we went to the zoo and my favorite part was either intently watching the monkeys and wondering how they don't become bored just walking, sitting, listening, and eating. My other favorite part was when we got to go into a room with birds and I got a bird to go on my finger. The next day we had to go home.

Chinese family names are often formed (begin) with a sign that means "mother". It's a nice way of honoring their moms long past.

The ancient Greeks celebrated Mother's Day in spring, like we do. They used to honor Rhea, "mother of the gods" with honey-cakes and fine drinks and flowers at dawn. Sounds like the beginnings of the Mother's Day tradition of breakfast in bed!

Julia Ward Howe wrote the Battle Hymm of the Republic and was a staunch fighter for women's rights. She staged an unusual protest for peace in Boston, by celebrating a special day for mothers. Julia wanted to call attention to the need for peace by pointing out mothers who were left alone in the world without their sons and husbands after the bloody Franco-Prussian War.

George Washington once said, "My mother was the most beautiful woman I ever saw. All I am I owe to my mother.

Rose Kennedy once said, "I looked on motherhood not only as a work of love and duty, but as a profession that was fully as interesting and challenging as any honorable profession in the world, and one that demanded the best that I could bring it."

Mother's Day is now celebrated in many countries around the world. Australia, Mexico, Denmark, Finland, Italy, Turkey, Belgium, Russia, China, Thailand, all have special celebrations to honor Mothers, but not in the same way or on the same day as the United States.

During the 1600's, England celebrated a day called "Mothering Sunday." Servants would go home to see their families, bringing cakes and sweets to their moms. This custom was called "going a-mothering".

Anna Jarvis of Philadelphia began the campaign that brought about the official observance of Mother's Day in the United states. Her mother died, and Anna wanted all mothers to be remembered. She asked that white carnations be the official mother's day symbol. In 1914, President Woodrow Wilson signed the orders that made Mother's Day a national holiday.

Just nine years later, Anna filed a lawsuit in an effort to stop the over- commercialization of Mother's Day. She lost her fight. Now, cards, letters, candy and dinners out mark Mother's Day for most families. Anna had hoped for a day of reflection and quiet prayer by families, thanking God for all that mothers had done.
