IMAX at the Minnesota Zoo

April 10th, 2016

Our residents at Oak Park Senior Living recently enjoyed an excursion to the Minnesota Zoo! Following breakfast, we took an early-morning bus trip down to Apple Valley. Once inside the zoo, we snacked on complimentary coffee and treats. It was Senior Day at the zoo, and the place was packed.

Some of us hit the gift shop–it wasn’t easy walking away from the adorable plush animals! After our coffee, we joined a huge crowd inside the IMAX theatre, where we watched “Wild Africa” in 3D. The 3D glasses were a riot! After many laughs and a wild movie adventure, we headed back home just in time for lunch.

At Oak Park Senior Living, we celebrated April Fools’ Day the way the French did back in the 16^thcentury. People who were slow to get the news that the Julian calendar had switched to the Gregorian calendar became the butt of jokes.

The jokes included having paper fish stuck on their backs and being referred to as “poisson d’avril” (April fish), said to symbolize a young, easily caught fish and a gullible person. During happy hour, we had lots of fun sneaking up on people and taping paper fish to their backs!
