So there are too many people in my house right now. I thought when we got home last night it would be to a nice quiet empty house. Nope. The friend who went with us to OH was too tired to drive home (which is odd since all they did was sleep on the drive home, but hey, you know how it goes), and B's one sister felt left out and decided it was HER turn to sleep over. We traded one kid for another. Ugh. Not the end of the world, but I was expecting a nice empty house this morning but do not get that. Oh well.
As for yesterday, we had an awesome time. Was it worth 9 hours of driving? Maybe. I got to pet a rhino, a camel, and a giraffe. I also got to feed all of those. I have never had that kind of close up, one on one experience with animals like this before and it was pretty freaking awesome. It was a small limited group. Basically 3 couples counting us and our friend. It's usually limited to six, but they let it slide to 7. The fact that it was limited made it really nice. Also no children which is great. We took our time we all of the animals, never felt rushed or hurried, and as an added bonus, the weather was about 70 and was just freaking perfect. Riding in the back of an open truck was not a problem. I took about 325 pictures and almost all of them came out really nice. Here's a sample:
Very pleased. The downside is that it was 4.5 hours each way. Plus on the way home we stopped at Cane's for dinner. The ride home was closer to 5.5 hours. Long drive, sore butt. I would go again, but I would spend the night.
Today I am going to wash the car, slow cook a roast, and go to the mall to pick up something B needs and get a fancy milkshake. A good sunday planned in my brain.
