Well, we delivered the emus to the Indy Zoo on Friday. What a great day we had! It was rainy off & on so we didn't get to see much of the Whitewater Gardens, but our time at the zoo was awesome! The gentleman we worked with on the emus spent 3 hours showing us around "behind the scenes" of the zoo. We got to go into the animals buildings where the staff only is allowed. I got to feed a giraffee his breakfast! It was so cool to be that close to such an amazing animal. We went into the elephant house and out in their yard. One of the females came up to about 12 feet away from us. Even though she was a "small" female, she was big to me!. We were also glad to see how excited everyone on the staff was that the emus were finally there. They will be in quarantine for 45 days before going into the exhibit. We hope they go thru quantine without any problems. We're planning on taking a weekend trip with the boys up to see them in their new home. I will be interested to see how they and the kangaroos get along!

Yesterday was spent shaving a couple of the doe kids for this weekend's show. I have 4 more of my togg does to do-2 absolutely have to be done, the others could wait if need be, but would have to be done before the Tennessee show. Mike is planning a little trip, which I am so glad of! He lets me go off to the goat shows & my girls trip every year with no complaints. I can never get him to take time off, so that part kind of got me, but I am happy he is doing this. He'll be leaving the 30th and be back on the 1st or 2nd. It will be interesting to hear how he enjoyed it when he gets back. He enjoys being by himself, much more than I do. I like having people around. I think he would be nervous if I went far by myself, he doesn't mind so much when I'm with the Smith's going to shows. If I decided to take off on my own to Tennessee or whereever, he wouldn't say anything, but I think he'd be hesitant. Still, he never complains about taking everything on when I'm gone. I'm especially glad he is doing this since I'm going on a cruise in November (helps me feel a little less guilty!)

Scott is heading back to school after work today. He'll only be gone 3 days a week, but he is already dreading it. I keep reminding him that he'll be done in February, but he gets so homesick, or rather he gets to missing Christina, so much. They are planning on waiting 3 yrs until she is done with school to get married-I hope that holds true so they can get some money saved up and be sure where they are with their careers.
