We started to work on painting the kitchen cabinets & settled into bed early.
Now, on Sunday we had somewhat of a dliema. We had hoped to go to the DeYoung Zoo in Wallace, MI on Saturday but with Ken's late arrival we had to postpone it till Sunday. Now here was the delima...Kyle Petty, the race car driver was going to be in Gladstone for a charity bike rally for his Camp in honor of his fallen son, Adam. Victory Junction Gang Camp is a camp for kids with terminal illnesses. Well I have always liked Kyle & he has wunnaful ethics & does so much for others...a true inspiration.
What to do, what to do? We decided to go to the Zoo & miss seeing Kyle. One of my dreams before I die has always been to hold a tiger. Well by golly! I not only held a few tortoises, a billy goat, a baby wolf, a lil monkey, a baby couger, a raccoon but I held the cutest lil cat! A 2 week old siberian tiger. Talk about royal cuteness!! Here are some pics!!! =)
Now this next lil guy was soo funny! He kept looking at me & sticking out his tongue. Then he'd nuzzle in my chest.
One of the cutest things was seeing this black poodle & baby siberian tiger nuzzled in to each other. Both pup & tiger were born the same time & became Pals. Bud, the owner of the zoo seperated them & neither the cat nor dog coped well at all. Hense why they are nuzzled together. I'm sure once the tiger gets bigger they will have no choice but to seperate them.
This next lil baby was soo fun to watch. He'd stare at his Big Bird toy & then play with it. Then look around again.
These next two lions were in the same fensed in area. The zoo owners said this was Nala's 3rd husband. LOL! Guess now a days even the lions can't remain monogamas!
Bud, the owner & his fiance handle each & every animal every day. Here's Bud in one of the tiger fenced in areas. He's got some guts to do that!!
This next critter scared the zoinkels right out of Ken. He is absolutely terrified of snakes & will scream like a lil girl if he sees one. Well when they took this gynormous Burmese Pyton out Ken was sure to stay as far back as possible.
We ended the day at the zoo just as they were going to start the reptile feeding. The kids were a bit edgy & tired. What a fantastical day though!!

i absolutly love this zoo!! it is amazing and anybody that hasnt been there should really check it out!!
That Zoo is ok, but could definitely use some major upgrades. And anyone stupid enough to get into the cages with the big cats deserves exactly what he will get someday~Mauled to Death!! What exactly is it that this genious is trying to prove? You do not have to go to those lengths to properly take care of those animals.
