It's Fun To Be Married To A Geek

About a month ago we were able to go see some cool animals. A teacher that works with Michael knows a guy that owns some crazy animals. He needed some work done on his computer so Michael agreed to work on his computer if we could see his animals. It was pretty fun!!! We got to feed elephants carrots and watermelon, man they eat fast! (Elephant on left used to be one of Michael Jackson's elephants at Neverland Ranch.) Their trunks are very hairy and the hair is very stiff like wire.

Next we went to go see the tiger Asia. She was very playful. She liked to hide in her cement tube and peek out at us to make sure we were still paying attention to her. Michael really wanted to pet her but the guy said it wasn't a very good idea, a little disappointing but very understandable. She was a very big kitty!

We also go to meet Spike the Rhino. He really wanted to get out of his cage. His skin was hard and rough except right under his arms and it was super soft. He was very thirsty, he was drinking faster than the hose could go.

We got to meet three ca-pu-chin monkeys. (For some reason we only got pictures of two though.) I didn't think I would like the monkeys very much but they were cute! They would hold out their hand for us to pet them and then they would hold hands with us. The girl monkey, the second picture, was the cutest. She would bob her head back and forth until I did the same. She was very playful.

We also got to see a crane, some pelicans, an ostrich, and rattlesnakes. All the animals were amazing to see and be so close to. We had a blast and wish we could see the animals everyday.
