Dear Mommy,

I'm putting the final touches on our super-fun animal art project that we'll be doing tomorrow at our adventure at the Moorpark Zoo.  We still have space, and we'd love for you to join us!  It's the perfect place to see wild animals UP CLOSE and personal...and attended to by passionate, loving caregivers.  Click here to register
Adventure to the Moorpark Zoo
Saturday, April 25, 10:30am

My latest indulgence?  Twitter!  How do I love thee, let me count the ways.  It's fast, easy to figure out after a bit of practice, and provides instant, democratic access to people all over the world.  Can I convince you to try it?  All you need is a computer with internet access (or a phone with the same). If you had been following me, you would have gotten:
  • Places to play in water when it was 90 degrees
  • My warning NOT to go see Disney's Earth with your kids
  • A link to Europe's most popular commercial, essential for parents (and HYSTERICAL!)
  • Links to the stores featured in LA Magazine's "Baby Boutiques" article
I can't wait to share more!  As you probably guessed, there is so much that doesn't make in into the newsletter, and I finally found an instant way to share it!
Visit our page at http://twitter.com/AdventureClubLA , and then sign up for an account.  Lurk for a day or two, then dive right in!  I'm still learning myself, but trust me when I say you are going to LOVE Twitter!

I hope you enjoy this beautiful, not too hot spring weekend...
Warmly,
Carrie
Founder and Mommy


p.s. We saw Cool Globes today!  Pictures to follow shortly...
