DREAMNIGHT AT THE ZOO a very special event that happens each year on the first Friday in June. Families that need to use the local children’s hospital come to the zoo to enjoy a special evening. Face painters, caricaturists, performers of all kinds, yummy treats and enjoying the animals at the zoo. This was my 5th or 6th year volunteering my services and it’s my favourite drawing event of the year. The families are fabulous - the parents, the kids that need the hospital and their siblings.
This first little guy gave me about a dozen different fun smiles every time I looked up at him from my paper. What a cutie! He’s loved his puppy every since he was a baby so how could I not include him!
The second and third photo is of one of favourite families. They come and see me each year. It’s an honour and a treat to watch the girls grow up. And such warmth and friendly parents.
These kids became cuter and cuter by the minute. Such special moments with each one of them. I wish all the Stollery families much joy and healthy times ahead.
