Tending M & M

Well nothing exciting happened today except i was able to tend Matt and Maddy. We had a good time playing knights and dragon, and the Foxy Lady. Came home and checked the Ewes and bucks to see who have been breed. We have to make sure that the two rams don't get in the same fence. Or one will be dead I am just not sure which one. I also have found me a new puppy. I just need to get $5o more dollars. they say his temperament is very calm. When his litter mates was out playing they would find him in laying on the bean bag pillow. He likes to cuddle up with her niece and nephew. So we will see when I go and see him in the next couple of days. I will post picture of him when I get him.

Home at last!!

Well we are home. In Phoenix it got a little weird. I won't say scary because things weren't to that point yet. But we flew into concourse D and our next flight left concourse C So this mass of people were moving to the end of the concourse to get to our other concourse when we got to the end there we turned to C There was a line Of TSA workers not letting us through. They didn't tell us anything just that there was a security problem. In the meantime A LOT of TSA worker walked back down the concourse from the way we had came. Then pretty soon here came Phoenix police some with dogs, some on Bicycles. There was a lot of chatteron the walkie talkies but nothing audible. We all just stood abd watched. But they wouldn't let us walk back down to where ther were seats we just had to stand thier. Then they annouced over th PA system that do to ao sceurity problem the airport was closed. So none of us would miss our flights. After about 20 -25 minutes the TSA authorities in front of us let us go. When we got to our gate. our plane was not there. we were able to see the plane we were to get on pull up and unload its passengers. Because of the security problem they had not allowed anything to land or leave the airport. So we were on time for our plan and only arrived in SLC 12 minutes late. Well I get to sleep in my own bed tonight. Tomorrow is a rat race day. I go and tend Matt and Maddy at 7:15 then we all go and pick up Grandma and Grandpa Selman at 10 Have Grandpa to the doctor in Ogden at 11. Then since Jonah is sick He has to back down to Ogden at 1 pm But I can't help him, He will have to go it alone and then if he is bad enough that send him to primaries Tanya will get out of school early and go down with Dave and Jonah.

Today was quiet day. we went to church at 11:30 then we went to have sunday dinner at Matts sister Jills house. We had a great dinner then we played with the kids on their new swing set. tehn came home about 5:30. We enjoyed Matt and Alashandra's ward. It is a little different ward. They have Spanish translations. it was good to meet some of them. We will see you tomorrow. We fly in at 6 pm if everything is on time.

Zoo and Gaga's birthday

Well as you can tell we didn't go to Sea World. We weren't paying $56 dollars a ticket. So we went to the San Antonio zoo. It is a really neat zoo. all the zoos that I have been to have a favorite part. We timed this just right, we were able to watch them feed the the alligators. Matthais I took a video of them feeding the alligators, so that you can watch it.
This is a white rhino. They have two white rhinos, and three black rhinos.

This is a warthog. He is really ugly and a lot bigger than I thought that he would be.
Here are some of the kangaroos. they have about ten of them.A Kumodo Dragon, he was pretty big too.



These two pictures are of them feeding the alligators. They feed them rats. The alligato up on the dry is named bubbles, that is the female. she was really hungry. The male is still in the water and his name was Rufus. He was not hungry and they couldn't get him to eat.

After the zoo we went to Joes Crab Shack to eat for Gaga's birthday. Gaga and I ordered crab legs, so we had to eat with a bib. Zeke was really entertained by the waiters singing and dancing to a song on the radio.

This is the shark that hangs in Joe's Crab shack.

Laundry Day

We didn't do to much today. Since we didn't make it to Tami's (I figured that I could some laundry there) we had to go to a laundromat today. We had a really nice visit with an elder couple that own it they were their stocking the vending machines and general maintenance. We tended
Zeke will Alashandra and Matt closed on their house. All the funding should be through Monday. We have hung pictures and bought and hung curtains on the sliding glass doors. The main level is pretty well all done. We hope that tomorrow we go to Sea World.

tourists

Today we were tourists. We went to the Alamo and to the river walk. Both were really neat. We spent to the Alamo and walked around there for a while. then we walked to the river walk and went to the Rainbow Cafe to have lunch. When we came out it was raining. but we continued to walk down the river walk for a little while. Then we came home. It has been enjoyable day.

Looking down the River Walk.

This is where we ate lunch on the river walk.
















This is an animated Alligator at the Rain Forest Cafe. The restaurant is on the River Walk. Inside the ceilings are covered with vines and lights. Every so often it starts to "rain" the lights flash and a rain storm is played over the speaker system and all the electronic animals in the building come to life. There are Elephants gorillas, alligators, monkeys, snakes, ect...















This is the front of the Alamo















This is a cool water fountain at the Alamo















Zeke loved to watch these big fish they were in a small water way at the Alamo. I think it was his favorite part.



















This is one of the huge trees around the Alamo. Some were so big they have added support to the limbs so they don't touch the ground.
