Lily approachesOn 
Ellie comes downthis rainy day, it was a visit to Lily, Eli, and Ellie. We all got soaked without anyone even noticing. The cubs are growing! Ellie looked super coming down from a cedar tree. Eli chose to watch us from above.
Lorie Kennedy spent much of the day trying once again to make contact with Faith. All she got was soaked. Tomorrow, perhaps?
Back at the Research Center, the governor’s office called. We’ll meet with Governor Mark Dayton, Commissioner Landwehr, and another official on Monday, July 22.
Thank you for all you do.
