We call this 'zoo camp'

When we walked in to Nova's Ark camp this morning there was a large black pig sleeping on the lawn beside a pen with dozens of guinea pigs.

Ben saw the guinea pigs and was fascinated.

He spent the day on this farm east of Toronto, checking out the snakes, zebras, a camel, a monkey, lemurs, miniature horses and a large tortoise called Thor.

He asked if he could bring one of the guinea pigs home and the owner said he had to ask me. I guess we'll do a little research on guinea pigs first.
