Is that tube thing in the meerkat enclosure? That's pretty neat! We have a small zoo here. There's a zoo keepers program at the local community college, but it's nothing like yours!
It looks like the weather was beautiful! It's been raining here going on two days now, I feel bad for the folks at WDW, but we sure did need it here!
Yes, that is at the meerkat area. I can't stand that tube, though, nor seeing them in it!
I hope the rain clears out by the weekend, but if not, we'll break out the ponchos.
Doreen, I'm so happy you are going home today! I hope that means you are doing much better!!!
MeMom, such a great day at the zoo! It's about time that Trent paid up on the Meerkat! Haha!!!
Please tell him I said that!
Also I'm so happy that Tanya was able to spend time with you all! I know that she misses you and the girls! I know that I do too! I FBed with her yesterday!
See you and Brook real soon!
I told him what you said.
He said, "Like meerkats are just found in abundance around here?!?!?"

He was happy to be paid up, and he was very gracious to the new furry friends who came to the house.
Tanya had a good time, I think.
That zoo looks awesome! Glad you all had a fun time.
I suspect Jill's house may be like ours with 2 little girls - more stuffed animals than we know what to do with!

I always say I'm going to go through their collection and get rid of some. But when I do, I realize that they play with almost all of them at some point and I let them be. There will come a time that we need to do something as we now have 4 overflowing popup hampers of them and the collection keeps growing.
Yes - many, many animals and characters. So many that some of them have had to come to my house to live.
Wow! What a great zoo! It's been rainy here for the last two days but it has cooled it down a lot. Creighton and I were going to do the walk for breast cancer awareness today but because it was raining we didn't. I dont want him to get sick. Maybe we'll see you at Pop as your checking in and I'm checking out.
I hope you have a great sunday!
Let's make that meet happen. We should be there by 11.
Not long now for your trip. Bet you are both getting so excited.

Thankyou for sharing your day out at the zoo. What lovely weather you are still having. Our mini heatwave in the UK lasted about a week. Now it's the usual weather for the time of year. I love the picture of Bella with her high heels and purse. She is so cute.
I am trying to get packed little by little. Truthfully, I don't think it has really sunk in yet that I am leaving Friday. I'm not feeling giddy, but that because of the stress of school. There was another article in the paper about how much this is threatening teachers' jobs, so it's a little unsettling. I know as the week goes on it will hit me, but I think school will do its best to keep me stressed out until I actually leave the premises Friday afternoon.
Awww, I say those can be Bella's 'mingos if she wants! Brooklynn looks like she's having a great time on the bridge and with the animals! What a nice day at the zoo
She got a new mingo purse, and her Bubby put some change in it before she left. She thought she was big stuff!
Bella is just too cute with her hands on her hips. What a little sassafras!
Mingos! How exciting. Maybe there's something we don't know, and all mingo's really do belong to Bella....
Love all of the furries that the girls got! I admit, I still love little fuzzies. Just can't justify getting them anymore.
I justify getting the realistic ones, because I can take them out of my classroom money, which is $200 for the year.

Not that it really matters, though, since I've already spent well over $200.
As for the mingos, we'll just let it be like that. They belong to Bella, and nobody should tell her any different. I'm too chicken to do it, I know that!
Looks like a terrific day at the zoo! My SIL told me that if her brother and I broke up, she was keeping me. Luckily, nearly 25 years later, it isn't an issue.
It is nice that Tanya could spend the day with you.
I have 68 days until our trip, and I want to get out suitcases to rearrange stuff...

I know I have to wait though!
When are you leaving from Birmingham? My mom is flying in Saturday morning to visit my aunt. At some point there might be two Memoms in the same location? (Alright, maybe that seems normal to you, but in PA, no one calls their grandmother Memom except for my girls. When they refer to her in company, it is "my grandmother".
When my ex left, I got to keep part of his family, too. Actually, we were very close friends before I married into the family, so it was natural. All the cousins we hang out with now really are blood-related to him, but they never see or talk to him. Dawn, Kellye, and I were honorary 'sisters' way back a long time ago, and our kids grew up together. His aunt and uncle helped me out financially several times when I was a single mom raising the kids on my own, and we have a deep affection for them.
I think we fly out around 6 or 7. I'll have to ask Jill what the exact time is. I know it is early, and we have to travel from Huntsville to Birmingham before that. Let me know if the two MeMoms will meet.
