Tanganyika

Wow . . . last week absolutely flew by. Jeff's sister and her family were here all week and we managed to stay busy every night. On Friday Grant and I took the day off from school so we could go to Tanganyika Wildlife Park in Goddard with everyone. It's a privately owned zoo that has just recently opened to the public. A few years ago Grant's kindergarten class went there on a field trip and my has it changed. The facilities all seem to be brand new, there are several exhibits where you get to walk amongst the animals and feed them and there are so many more animals than I remembered. We had a perfect day!!! We will definetely have to go back this summer.

Grant got to feed the lorikeets nectar from a little cup.

We were all shocked when this one landed on John's arm.

And even more shocked when one landed on Melissa's shoulder. Lorelie was really checking it out. She even tried to grab it!!!























Grant's favorite part was feeding the lemur's. We spent quite awhile feeding them and watching them play.


















By the end of the day Maggie was hot and tired from running around and cute little Lorelie still had a big smile on her face!!!

Yesterday (Saturday) Jeff and I celebrated our 11th anniversary. Our day began with concession stand duty at the baseball park from 9-11 am and then we went home to shower and change clothes before we headed over to Buhler for Nick's graduation. We missed the ceremony itself, but got to have lunch and see everyone back at Debbie's house. There wasn't much time for us to celebrate with all of the other stuff that was going on. My sister did come over this afternoon to visit and we snuck out to see the movie Angels and Demons. Thanks Aunt Karen!!! It was good . . . but seemed awfully long (2 hours 20 minutes).
