African Safari

I have always wanted to go to the African Safari in PC.  They happened to be running a special for their season opening day - $5 a car load!  I hurried and bought a ticket, excited to finally go.

Since it was the end of February, the only portion of the park open was the drive through.  We bought some snacks to give the animals and headed through the park. 

It was INSANE.  They come up to you and take the carrots out of your hand, you hold the cup of feed out the window for the animals to eat out of and they spill it everywhere.  One animal took off with the whole cup!  Dennis was pissed.  I was cracking up.

The girls thought it was neat, until a few animals stuck their heads in the window.  Then they started freaking out & huddled together in the middle of the backseat, I laughed at them…until we got to the buffalo.  Then I tried to climb in the backseat with them!  Haha. Like for real – those things were as big as Dennis’ car!! 

Anyway, by the time we actually got done, I realized I had been holding my breath.  It was a bit nerve wracking having these ginormous animals crowded around your car for treats. 

We are all looking forward to going again when the rest of the zoo opens back up.  Until then, we will be working on cleaning off buffalo drool from the car.  Ick!

Walleye



There is a local disaester clean up company that offers a lot of continuing ed courses for insurance agents.  They pop into our office every few months to check in, answer questions, pass out their flyer for us to suggest to our clients.  Well, they also offer family nights a few times a year. 

This happened to be the Walleye Family Fun Night.  Free tickets to the Walleye game & a meet & greet w/all of the mascots, including the Mud Hens mascots.

Cadence had a cheer comp RIGHT before this and we had to RACE to the game to get our tickets.  Thankfully, we made it with enough time to get pictures w/the Toledo gang!

 

 

 

 

July…ALREADY????

Can’t believe that, not only is it July, but already the 1st full week of July is over! This summer has been busy & HOT, HOT, HOT!! I could do w/o the heat, but loving all the stuff we’ve done & have planned!

Already, we’ve spent at least one day a week w/Gramma since she arrived 6/14. We attended Maria’s Going Away (pre) Party…went to Jeremy’s surprise b/day party, Sarah’s surprise b/day party, finished t-ball, went to the motorcross races, lived through a tornado, went to Gramma’s for the 4th of July, went to Woodville for their 4th festival & to Perrysburg & Toledo fireworks.

That’s just the big stuff that I can think of..it doesn’t include pool time @ Aunt Vicki’s & Ahrianna staying the nite, etc.

Things still in store include b/day parties, flea mkts, trick or treating @ the campground, festivals & fairs!

We’ve also been working on the house…painting & working on the flower bed…finishing some crafts & painting some furniture.

This weekend is the River Raisin Festival, Nathan’s b/day party & Cadence doing a little volunteering.

I really don’t have anything witty or cute to say to close out this post – so have a great weekend!!

Until next time..
